Samual Picks Off Velasco's Bluff
Level 3
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Juan Velasco was the first player to be eliminated in the 2025 WSOPE Main Event, but did jump back in right away. His second bullet also isn't going so well as he just had a bluff picked off by Darius Samual.
The full board of 7♠6♠2♥Q♥7♦ was showing with around 30,000 in the pot, and Samual had bet 4,000 on the river from early position. Velasco was in middle position and bumped it up to 16,000, which Samual called after some time in the tank.
Velasco then showed 3♣2♣ for a pair of deuces, but that was no good as Samual showed a pair of tens holding 10♦10♣.
