Iqbal Picks Off Li's Big Bluff
Level 5
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Majid Iqbal bet 800 from the button on a flop of 5♠Q♥2♠ before Man Li raised to 3,500 in the small blind. Stephen Cherry folded his big blind, but Iqbal stuck around and called.
The turn came the 8♥ and Li bet another 4,500. "You beating kings," Iqbal asked Li, who had to take out his headphones to hear.
Iqbal called and the 2♣ fell on the river. Li then slid forward 15,000 and Iqbal snap-called.
Li showed A♣3♥ for a bluff and Iqbal turned over Q♠J♥ for two pair to win the big pot.
