Chipleader Lopez Catches a Bluff
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Emmanuel Lopez took 25,000 chips off his massive stack and put them in the middle for a raise from middle position. Charlie Chiu was on the button and called, and Mike Lancaster defended his big blind.
The trio then checked through the 8♥3♠9♥ flop before Lancaster led out 30,000 on the 3♥ turn. Lopez called while Chiu got out of the way.
Lancaster would fire another bet, this time of 40,000, when the 4♠ hit the river, and another quick call followed from Lopez. Lancaster shook his head while he tabled his 7♥6♦ for a failed bluff, while Lopez had turned trips with his 3♣2♣ and raked in another pot.
Meanwhile, one table behind, Dmitrii Kuzin was eliminated.
