Straver Sniffs Out Nashar's Bluff
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Hassan Nashar raised to 10,000 from early position with Atanas Malinov calling from middle position and Johannes Straver calling out of the small blind,
After Straver checked the Q♥10♠7♥ flop, Nashar fired out a bet of 15,000. Malinov folded, but Straver called.
Both players checked the 4♠ turn for the 6♦ to come on the river. Straver bet 32,000 and was met by a raise to 75,000 from Nashar. Straver thought for a few moments before making the call.
Nashar said to Straver, "You probably win." Straver turned over A♣10♣ for second pair and Nashar mucked.
