Speranzoni Sniffs Out Sabishchenko's Bluff to Scoop the Pot
Level 37
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Rostyslav Sabishchenko kicked off the action from under the gun, raising to 1,000,000 with K♣Q♠. The table folded around to Alberto Speranzoni in the big blind, who found A♥4♣ and opted to defend.
The flop came down A♣8♠Q♦, giving both players a piece of the board. Sabishchenko, holding second pair, took the lead with a bet of 500,000, and Speranzoni, with top pair, quickly called.
Both players checked the 10♦ on the turn.
On the 2♠ river, Speranzoni checked again, and Sabishchenko attempted to bluff with a bet of 1,000,000. After some consideration, Speranzoni, confidently saying, "I can beat king-queen," made the call and scooped the pot.
