Brinceanu Picks Off a Big Bluff From Sterba
Level 18
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Marius Brinceanu raised to 35,000 in early position and Rafi Elharar and Jakub Sterba came along from the blinds.
All three players checked the 6♦9♠5♣ flop. The turn was the 2♣ and Sterba bet 72,000. Brinceanu called, while Elharar got out of the way.
The 6♠ fell on the river and Sterba bet another 225,000. Brinceanu snap-called with K♣K♦, while Sterba could only show J♣2♣ for a pair of deuces as Brinceanu raked in the big pot.
