David Salituro

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Oliver Weis limped in from the small blind and Georgios Tsouloftas checked his option.

Weis led out for 150,000 on the A♥10♥3♦ flop and Tsouloftas called. The turn was the 2♦ and Weis checked to Tsouloftas, who bet 250,000.

Weis called and checked again on the 10♦ river. Tsouloftas then bet 850,000 and Weis snap-called.

Tsouloftas could only show Q♣7♣ for a bluff, while Weis had J♠10♠ for trip tens to win the pot.
