Nice Bluff By Volkov
Level 36
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Shortly after the break, Dominik Panka raised from the button to 1,000,000 and was called by Ruslan Volkov. In the big blind, David Hu called as well, and a K♣A♥7♠ flop appeared on the felt.
The blinds checked and let Panka bet 1,150,000. However, Volkov and Hu kept calling.
The K♥ came on the turn, and Volkov took the lead, betting 3,500,000 chips. With A♦5♠, Hu eventually folded. Panka couldn’t do something different because he only had 7♣5♣. What they didn't know is that Volkov, with Q♠10♠, only had a straight draw.
