Bhalla's Bluff Falls Short
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
On a flop of 4♣8♠6♠ with a pot of 400,000, Oscar Johansson, on the button, bet half the pot after Eshaan Bhalla, in the big blind, checked the action to him. Bhalla called to see the turn.
Bhalla led out with a 150,000 bet on the 4♦ turn, and after a short stare down, Johansson raised to 300,000. Bhalla took a few seconds before calling.
Bhalla kept the pressure on the river 2♥ which Johansson flat-called. Bhalla said he had a ten but Johansson waited for him to show. Bhalla showed 10♦9♣ for a complete bluff. Johansson tabled A♥A♣ then scooped the pot.
