Yaghmai Picks Off Yu's Bluff

Tim Baker

Level 31 : Blinds 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante

Nariman Yaghmai raised the button, and Qing Lu called from the big blind.

Lu check-called a continuation-bet of 280,000 from Yaghmai on the 5♣9♠8♦ flop.

The 3♦ turn checked through, and the 4♠ completed the board. Lu fired out for 600,000, and after giving it some thought, Yaghmai made the call.

Lu showed a complete airball with 10♠2♠. His ten-high was no good against Yaghmai's Q♥5♥ for just a pair of fives.
