Heinecker Picks Off Polychronopoulos' Bluff

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Athanasios Polychronopoulos limped from the small blind and Sven Heinecker checked from the big blind. The two players went to the {6-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} flop and Polychronopoulos slid out 40,000. Heinecker called and the turn came {4-Spades}. Polychronopoulos checked, Heinecker bet 85,000 and Polychronopoulos raised to 170,000. Heinecker called and the {A-Spades} came on the river.

Polychronopoulos bet out 225,000 and Heinecker called. Polychronopoulos didn't want to turn over his cards but Heinecker waited for him to table his cards. Polychronopoulos sheepishly turned over {Q-Hearts} {5-Clubs} for a stone bluff and Heinecker tabled {4-Hearts} {2-Spades}. Heinecker picked up the pot in a spot where Polychronopoulos probably wished he didn't try to bluff.
