Trost Executes a Huge Bluff
Sam Darkin raised with Q♠9♠ to 160,000 from the hijack. Craig Trost called on the button with 8♠7♠, and Nazar Buhaiov defended his big blind with 7♣5♣.
Buhaiov checked first when the 4♠5♠10♣ flop was exposed, and Darkin bet 250,000. Trost and Buhaiov called.
Buhaiov now took the betting lead on the 5♦ turn as he led out for 575,000. Darkin folded, but Trost raised to 1,200,000. Buhaiov deliberated for quite some time before sliding in the call.
With 1,400,000 remaining in his stack, Buhaiov checked for the last time upon seeing the 3♣ roll off on the river. Trost shoved to but Buhaiov all in, causing Buhaiov to lean back in his chair and look to the heavens, visibly distraught by the situation he was in.
Around three minutes passed before Buhaiov reluctantly threw his cards into the muck. Trost started joyfully clapping as he slid his cards face down to the dealer, and the pot was pushed to him.
