Almeida Calls Down Banicevic's Three Barrel Bluff
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Pablo Almeida raised to 5,000 from early position with A♣K♣ and Vlado Banicevic three-bet to 16,500 from the cutoff with A♥10♥, which Almeida called.
The flop came 4♦K♦7♠ and Almeida checked his pair of kings. Banicevic bet 10,000 and Almeida called. The turn was the 5♠ and Almeida checked again. Banicevic continued his bluff with a bet of 28,000 and Almeida called.
The river came the 5♣ and Almeida checked a third street. Banicevic moved all in with the bigger stack, still running a bluff, and Almeida called for 47,000 to win the pot and double his stack.
