Deeb Picks Off Lupascu's Bluff
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Matei Lupascu opened to 60,000 from middle position and received calls from Shaun Deeb on the button and David Hochheim in the big blind.
The flop came A♣A♦5♥. Hoccheim checked, Deeb bet 40,000, Lupascu called and Hoccheim folded.
Both players checked the 10♣ turn leading to the 5♦ river. Lupascu bet 130,000 and Deeb quickly called.
Lupascu had 4♥4♣ for a counterfeited pocket pair. Deeb had just a king-kicker to the two pair on the board with K♠J♥ which was good to take the pot.
