Izadi Sniffs Out the Bluff
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Hamid Izadi opened to 23,000 from late position and was three-bet to 55,000 by John Michalak next to act. Everyone else folded, and Izadi called.
The dealer spread 
on the flop, and Michalak continued for a slight downbet of 50,000 when checked to. Izadi called again.
Izadi checked the 
turn over to Michalak, who fired again, this time for 100,000. Izadi held on for a river.
The board's highest card changed again on the 
river, and Izadi checked. Michalak fired 200,000, and Izadi sat motionless as he thought it over, eventually deciding on a call.
Michalak rolled over 
, which flopped better, but Izadi's 
took down the pot after the turn provided him a higher pair.
