Pop Picks Off Gkatzas's Bluff
Level 27
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Dimitrios Gkatzas raised to 240,000 from the hijack and only Catalin Pop called from the big blind.
Pop checked once the dealer fanned out the 9♥6♦4♦ flop and Gkatzas checked it back. An 8♣ rolled off on the turn and Pop led out for 225,000. Gkatzas continued with a call.
The K♥ fell on the river and Pop decided to check. Gkatzas fired out 550,000 and Pop quickly called.
Gkatzas immediately mucked his cards, which meant Pop pulled in the pot without having to show.
