Maeda Makes Ill-Timed Bluff
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Akinobu Maeda raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and was three-bet to 160,000 by Georgios Tsouloftas on the button.
Maeda made the call to the 3♣K♣7♥ flop, where he check-called the bet of 110,000 that Tsouloftas put in the middle.
The 4♠ turn was then checked through before Tsouloftas bet 350,000 on the J♣ river. Maeda shoved all in for 1,000,000 in response. Tsouloftas spent a short while in the tank before flicking in a calling chip.
Maeda tabled 5♦5♣ for a pair of fives. Tsouloftas had that beat with K♥Q♣ for top pair, raking in the big pot and ending up with more than 100 big blinds in his stack.
