Beresford Bluffs Big in Three-Way Spot
Conor Beresford, Cristoph Vogelsang and Fabiano Kovalski had arrived on the river in a modest pot of 6,300. The board read 10♦10♠Q♣6♠2♠ and Beresford checked from middle position before Vogelsang made a bet of 3,500. Kovalski made the call before Beresford baffled his opponents by jamming all of his 53,300 chips in the middle.
Vogelsang played 38,700 total and was deep in the tank. He used four time bank extensions before slamming a stack of chips in the middle to signify a call. Kovalski then quickly got out of the way so that the other two could have a showdown.
Beresford tabled Q♦6♦ for two pair that were turned into a bluff. Vogelsang triumphantly showed his K♣10♣ for flopped trips, while Kovalski claimed he folded the best hand with a queen-high flush.
Vogelsang secured a big double-up while Beresford was left with just under 50 big blinds.
