Lauck Bluffs into Gkatzas' Straight
Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Catalin Pop raised under the gun with A♦2♦ to 200,000. Dimitrios Gkatzas called from the hijack and Jonas Lauck defended his big blind.
All three checked the 4♠5♦6♦ flop to see the 7♠ hit the turn. Lauck bet 500,000, which only Gkatzas called.
The 8♦ completed the board, and Lauck used a time bank before sliding out a bet of 1,800,000. Gkatzas called and Lauck revealed A♥10♠ for a bluff. Gkatzas revealed 9♠9♣ for a nine-high straight and the pot was given to him.
