Massive Bubble Bluff by Loudagh
Salem Sahed opened to 20,000 from under the gun and Linda Hamdi, who over the last level had lost several big pots to Sahed to fall back to an average stack, called from early position. Mounier Acharki called in the hijack, Yasser Loudagh called in the small blind and Ringo Stimac called in the big blind.
The flop came 10♠4♠2♦. Action checked around to Hamdi who bet 40,000. Acharki folded before Loudagh put in a check-raise to 100,000. Stimac and Sahed folded while Hamdi made the call, leaving players heads up going into the turn.
Loudagh bet 120,000 on the 3♦ turn and Hamdi called.
On the Q♥ river Loudagh moved all in, covering Hamdi's remaining stack of approximately 100,000. Hamdi quickly folded.
Loudagh revealed 8♦7♦ for a missed flush draw turned into a bluff and dragged in a massive pot without showdown while Hamdi was left with just over ten big blinds.
