Michalak Bluffs the Chip Leader

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Heads-up on a board of {6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, start-of-day chip leader Chakib M'hiri bet 11,000 from the big blind and Jakub Michalak called in the hijack.

The river came the {j-Clubs} and M'hiri slowed down and checked. Michalak tossed out two green 25,000 chips for a bet of 50,000, sending M'hiri into the tank for around three minutes before he folded.

Michalak turned over {a-Spades}{4-Spades} for a bluff as he took the pot. "I know. I know. I was that close," M'hiri said following the hand.

"That's why I bet so much. Twenty-five you call," Michalak replied.
