Zhou Shows a Bluff; Holdaiy Doubles
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
With the turn showing 10♥3♠2♦2♠, chip leader Quan Zhou checked out of the big blind and Mike Gorodinsky in the cutoff bet 115,000. Zhou grabbed into his stack and then check-raised small, prompting a fold by his opponent.
Before raking in the pot, Zhou tossed his Q♦9♣7♥5♦ to the middle of the table.
Shortly after on the same table, Igor Holdaiy was all-in from the big blind on the Q♣J♣2♦ flop against Fernando Gutierrez on the button.
Igor Holdaiy: J♠J♦10♦6♠
Fernando Gutierrez: A♣K♥10♠8♠
"That's a fair fight," another player remarked but the 2♠ turn instantly locked up the double of Holdaiy for 235,000 to make the 3♦ river a formality.
