Thiemer With the Bluff; Malinov With the Call
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Atanas Malinov raised in middle position to 40,000, and only Frederik Thiemer called, defending his big blind.
Thiemer executed a check-raise on the 10♦6♣10♠ flop, raising to 72,000 following Malinov's original wager of 23,000. Malinov called, and they moved onto a turn card.
Thiemer continued with a bet of 60,000 on the A♦, and again Malinov called.
The river double-paired the board, coming 6♦, but this didn't slow Thiemer down as he moved all in, covering his opponent's stack of 235,000.
Malinov took a little time considering his options but elected to call. Thiemer had been caught as he rolled over 4♠3♠, and duly paid Malinov his double up when he tabled A♥6♥.
