Ciuca Goes For a Bluff
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Three-handed on a flop of 9♠10♦5♥, Alexandru Budai bet 7,000 from the button and Victor Angelescu folded in the big blind before Andrei Ciuca, under the gun, raised to 20,000.
Budai quickly called to the 2♥ turn, where Ciuca bet another 17,000. Budai again called and the 8♥ fell on the river.
Ciuca slowed down and checked, and Budai checked back. "You win," Ciuca told him as Budai turned over Q♠10♠ for top pair to win the pot.
