Pidun Sniffs Out Gallitzendoerfer's Bluff

Tim Baker

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Catalin Pop raised under the gun to 120,000 and Daniel Pidun called from middle position. Bastian Gallitzendoerfer squeezed to 320,000 from the button, and only Pidun called.

Pidun check-called a bet of 320,000 by Gallitzendoerfer on the 8♥5♠10♣ flop.

The 3♠ turn checked through to see the 7♣ complete the board. Pidun checked for the last time, and Gallitzendoerfer fired out 700,000. Pidun used up a few of his time banks before elexting to make the call.

Gallitzendoerfer showed an airball with A♥2♥, and lost the pot to Pidun's K♠10♠ for a pair of tens.

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Cheng Zhao pushed all-in from under the gun for 525,000 and the action folded to Alberto Speranzoni in the big blind. He asked for an exact count and then called after using one time bank extension.

Cheng Zhao: K♥J♥ All in
Alberto Speranzoni: A♣10♠

Neither player connected with the 9♠8♣5♥7♠7♦ board and that sent Zhao to the rail in 25th place.
