Weiss Catches Duek Bluffing to Take Over Lead
Level 31
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
In a limped battle of the blinds to the 7♠6♠3♥ flop, Dennis Weiss checked with the 8♠5♣4♠4♣ for the flopped straight and flush redraw. Michael Duek bet 750,000 with A♦10♣9♥6♣ and Weiss just smooth-called.
The 4♦ turn kept Weiss ahead with the still nutted straight and he checked, prompting a bet of 2,200,000 by Duek for Weiss to call.
That led both big stacks to the 9♣ on the river and Weiss checked the third street in a row. Duek now fired a bet of 5,600,000 and Weiss snap-called to reclaim the lead from Duek by some margin.
