Matrai Bluffs Himself Short
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Andras Matrai raised to 300,000 under the gun and saw Mukhtor Nasiradinov defend in the big blind. Both checked through the 5♣6♦10♣ flop before Matrai bet 250,000 on the K♦ turn.
Nasiradinov check-called to the Q♦ river, where he checked as well. Matrai piled in 750,000 chips. Nasiradinov tanked for a bit and then tossed in a call.
Matrai could only table A♦2♠ for ace-high, which Nasiradinov had outclassed with Q♠6♠ for two pair.
