Celdran Picks Off a Massive Bluff
With two players seeing a board of 9♦8♣10♦3♦8♥ and roughly 85,000 already in the middle, Fernando Celdran bet 40,000 from the big blind only for Matthew Gray to raise to 175,000 from early position. Celdran thought for about 90 seconds before making the call.
Gray could only show A♦Q♠ for a bluff with blockers to the nut-straight and nut-flush. Celdran turned over J♣7♥ for a jack-high straight to take down a colossal pot.
