Mahal Doubles After Catching Guilbert Bluffing
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Johan Guilbert was on the button and called a 3,000 bet from Matan Mahal, who was in the hijack, on a flop of 2♠6♠2♦.
Matan check-called a 10,500 bet from Guilbert on the 4♥ turn and checked once more after the 6♦ double-paired the board.
Guilbert sized down for a 5,500 bet, which was met with a check-raise to 20,000 by Mahal. Guilbert tanked for a bit and three-bet enough to put Matan all in for his last 30,000. Matan called and Guilbert showed J♠5♠ for a whiffed flush draw. Mahal held the A♥A♦ — which was more than enough for the double up.
