Renke's Bluff Falls Short
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Lucas Cortijo checked the turn on a board of 9♣10♥9♥5♠ and a pot of around 400,000. His heads-up opponent, button player Kajetan Renke, however, fired 120,000. Cortijo called.
The river came 3♣ and after a check, Renke kept up the pressure with a 250,000 bet. Unfazed, Cortijo called once again and waited for Renke to table his hand.
Renke showed Q♦J♦ for a busted straight draw and a bluff. Cortijo tabled K♦10♦ for a two pair with the board on the flop.
