Sitbon Bets the River, Badulin Goes Bluff Catching
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Georgi Sandev opened to 25,000 from the hijack and got called by Alexey Badulin in the cutoff, Julien Sitbon on the button, and Christos Christou in the big blind.
The four went to a flop of Q♦2♦8♥ which checked around to Sitbon, who fired 32,000. Christou and Sandev both folded, but Badulin stuck around with a call.
An 8♣ on the turn was checked through to the Q♠ river where Badulin checked, and Sitbon fired 67,000. Badulin thought it over for some time before he elected to call.
Sitbon then showed a bluff with 3♠3♣ and had three-high as there were two pairs on board, and Badulin had that pipped with A♦3♦ for ace-high.
