Umerova Sniffs Out the Bluff
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jeremiah Wheeler opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 18,000, and Safiya Umerova defended her big blind.
The flop came 10♦Q♠9♠, and Umerova checked. Wheeler continued for 32,000, and Umerova stuck around with a call.
Both players checked the 3♠ turn.
On the K♥ river, Umerova checked once more, and Wheeler launched a sizable bet of 80,000 into the middle. Umerova didn’t hesitate, she called.
With the dealer announcing showdown, Umerova waited patiently, as Wheeler had made the last aggressive move. After a pause, Wheeler finally tabled 6♥5♣ for a stone-cold bluff. Umerova revealed Q♥8♠ for a pair of queens, enough to win the pot.
