Desset Gets Huge Bluff Through
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Eusebiu Jalba and Andrej Desset were heads up on the turn on 10♣3♦A♣5♣. Jalba checked and Desset made a 140,000 bet in the pot of 175,000.
Desset made the call and the K♣ river brought the fourth club on the board. Jalba checked once more before Desset shoved his 685,000 stack towards the middle. This bet covered Jalba by the smallest margin, and it brought him much despair.
Jalba tanked for minutes until eventually the clock was called. Before the end of his countdown, he verbally declared a fold. The players then agreed to show each other their cards.
Desset tabled 6♠6♦ for a stone-cold bluff and Jalba slammed the table while he showed he had been thinking about calling with AxKx for top two pair.
