Langar Pulls Ahead on the River
Level 23
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Milad Langar opened to 400,000 from under the gun and Georgios Tsouloftas defended from the big blind.
The flop came J♥J♦3♣ and Tsouloftas led out with a bet of 225,000 that was called by Langar.
Tsouloftas fired another barrel on the 9♥ turn, this time for 525,000. Once again Langar made the call.
Both players checked the 8♥ river. Tsouloftas could only show K♣4♣ for a bluff but Langar showed 10♣8♣ and was actually behind the whole way with a draw until connected with his eight on the river to take the pot.
