Lebedev Makes Tough Call on River
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Sergey Lebedev raised to 55,000 from the button and Masashi Oya three-bet to 180,000 from the small blind, which Lebedev called.
The flop came 2♣6♠Q♣. Oya continued for 225,000 and Lebedev called. Both players then checked it back on the 4♥ turn.
The river was the 5♦. Oya put out a large bet of 270,000, sending Lebedev into the tank. He eventually flicked in a chip to make the call. Oya showed K♦J♦ for a bluff and Lebedev had 9♦9♣ for a pair of nines, making the hero call to chip up to around 3,000,000.
