Charalampous Catches Backlund Bluffing

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a board of 8♥Q♦7♣6♥J♦ with 13,400 in the pot, Evangelos Charalampous in the small blind bet 5,000. Andreas Backlund in the big blind raised to 20,000, so Charalampous went deep into the tank.

Charalampous eventually made the call with J♣9♥ and caught Backlund bluffing with 10♠4♥. "You made a big raise. If you made less big..." Charalampous said to justify his call.
