Scaramastra Sniffs Out Sandev's Bluff
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Nicola Scaramastra opened to 1,600 from middle position and was called by Georgi Sadev in the cutoff.
Scaramastra check-called a 1,800 bet from Sandev on the 6♦8♦K♣ flop and then both players checked on the 6♥ turn.
The 8♣ river double-paired the board and Scaramastra checked once more. This time Sandev fired 6,500 into the middle and Scaramastra quickly called.
"I play the board," Sandev said as he revealed 4♥4♠ for a counterfeited pair. Scaramastra turned over 10♥10♦ for tens and eights and was sent the pot.
