Tuna Tanks, Calls, and Drags Down a Monster
Maher Achour opened to 125,000 from under the gun and Fahredin Mustafov called from the next seat before Andrei Konopelko three-bet to 425,000 from middle position. Akin Tuna then cold-called on the button, and both Achour & Mustafov called.
Despite the heavy preflop action, no bets went in on the A♣5♠9♥ flop or the 7♦ turn. The A♦ paired the board on the river and when it got to Konopelko, he fired 800,000. Tuna went into the tank for quite some time before he tossed in a call, and Achour quickly folded.
"I think he can bluff," said Mustafov in regard to Konopelko. "This is sick," he added. After thinking some more, Mustafov folded.
Konopelko then looked at Mustafov as if you say 'you were right' and showed K♦J♣ for a bluff. Tuna then slammed over Q♠Q♣ for a pair of queens to take the pot.
"What did you have?" Tuna asked Mustafov. "Pocket tens," he replied as he flashed 10♠10♥ to the table.
