Abuladze Picks the Wrong Person to Bluff
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Georgi Abuladze and Mikhail Nikolaev were heads-up in a pot with around 60,000 in the middle. The board read 5♥4♠3♠K♣ and Nikolaev tossed in a bet of 28,000 on the button. Abuladze called and the 7♦ peeled off on the river.
Abuladze checked and Nikolaev slid out a stack of 120,000. Abuladze went into the tank and the clock was called but he eventually made the call. Nikolaev tabled J♥8♦ for air while Abuladze made a good call with A♦5♦ to become one of the leaders.
