Tulepbergenov Picks Off a Bluff
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Samuel Dray raised to 50,000 in early position and Azamat Tulepbergenov called in the hijack. Action folded to George Panagides in the small blind who took a minute without acting. The table then reminded him it was his turn and he quickly mucked.
The flop came 5♥7♠4♥ and Dray continued for 35,000. Tulepbergenov called and the 5♠ fell on the turn.
Dray then bet 65,000 and Tulepbergenov again called. The river was the 7♦ and Dray bet 190,000, leaving himself just 25,000 behind. Tulepbergenov quickly called and Dray was forced to show Q♥J♦ for a bluff.
Tulepbergenov turned over A♥10♠ for two pair with his ace-kicker to win the pot.
