Zukowicz Catches a Bluff
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Feng Qu opened from middle position and Monika Zukowicz called from the hijack.
Both players checked the Q♠10♥4♦ flop leading to the 2♥ on the turn. Qu bet 4,000, Zukowicz check-raised to to 10,500 and Qu made the call.
The 3♥ river completed the potential backdoor flush draw and Qu bet 32,000. Zukowicz thought for roughly 45 seconds before making the call.
Qu could only show A♠9♠ for a pure bluff while Zukowicz tabled 2♠2♦ for bottom set to take down a sizable pot.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya also recently sat down at this table and is off to a good start on his second bullet, having already doubled up from his starting stack.
