Nadal Catches Massive Bluff to Soar into the Lead
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Santiago Nadal and Luis Rayon Perez were heads-up on a flop of 2♣5♣6♥ with a bloated pot already in the middle.
Perez checked to Nadal, who bet 375,000. Perez then check-raised to 1,100,000 and Nadal called.
Perez kept up the aggression with a 1,600,000 barrel on the 2♦ turn and Nadal again called.
The 8♦ completed the board and Perez announced he was all in for approximately four million. Nadal snap-called and Perez could only show K♦Q♠ for a stone bluff.
Nadal turned over 5♥5♠ for a full house and collected the massive pot.
"You know you can't win the tournament today," Parker Talbot commented. "It's impossible."
