David's Bluff Doesn't Get Through Budakovic
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Cristian David raised to 6,000 from early position and Meir Kakoun called from mid-position along with Predrag Budakovic in the hijack and Tarun Goyal in the big blind.
The flop came 
and action was checked to Budakovic who bet 8,500. Goyal folded but David and Kakoun check-called.
The dealer burned and turned the 
that was checked through to the 
river. David and Kakoun checked once more but Budakovic fired 12,000. David check-raised to 35,000 and Kakoun let it go but Budakovic took a few seconds of reflection, then added the remainder to call. David turned over 
for ace-high and Budakovic turned over 
to rake in the pot with tens and threes.
