The Downs and Ups for Meyburg

Volodymyr Zakharov raised to 21,000 from under the gun, Torsten Tent called from middle position, and Michael Meyburg called from the big blind as well.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}

, and all three checked. The turn was the {K-Clubs}

, and once again, the trio all checked.

The river brought the {8-Spades}

, pairing the board. This time Meyburg fired a bet of 40,000. Zakharov took about a minute to consider the situation, then folded. Then Tent went into the tank for a bit. Finally he leaned forward to inspect the size of Meyburg's bet more closely. When he realized it was only 40,000 (he perhaps thought it had been for more), he made the call.

Meyburg showed {A-Hearts}

for the bluff, and Tent {K-Hearts}

to take the pot. Tent was at 945,000 after that one, while Meyburg slipped to 74,000.

Meyburg was all in from the button on the next hand with {A-Spades}
