Kanit Catches Reeves Bluffing

Level 28 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Sergei "Futti18" Koliakov won a three-bet pot against Luke "Bit2Easy" Reeves when he fired a continuation bet on the {q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop to force a fold. The Russian also won a minor pot with {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} against the {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} of Reeves as the board came {j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}.

Reeves pulled some chips back with a successful three-bet, however, as three-handed play continued to plug along.

The Brit then lost a substantial pot to Mustapha "lasagnaaammm" Kanit when he raised the button for 353,600 and picked up a call by the Italian. Kanit check-called the {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop for 432,072 and they checked the {10-Hearts} turn.

Kanit check-called the {k-Clubs} river for 1,283,508 and caught Reeves bluffing with {q-Spades}{3-Spades} as he pulled in the pot with {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for kings and eights.

Koliakov Doesn't Bluff Kanit

Level 28 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

The duel Sergei "Futti18" Koliakov in the big blind and Mustapha "lasagnaaammm" Kanit on the button duel went into yet another episode. Again, Koliakov check-raised the {q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, this time from 298,354 to 896,708, and Kanit called.

Koliakov fired once on the {6-Clubs} turn for 1,475,317 and then shut down on the {9-Hearts} river. His {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} was no good as Kanit had the best hand in {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

"why dont you bluff?" was the question by Kanit this time and Koliakov replied "I felt" just like Kanit had done previously.
