Brinceanu Bluffs a Chunk of His Stack Over to Ghashayar
Jakub Sterba opened from middle position to 32,000 and Marius Brinceanu three-bet the button to 80,000 before Iman Ghashayar four-bet the big blind to 255,000. Sterba folded, and after three minutes, Brinceanu called.
They went to a flop of 3♥J♦2♠ where Ghashayar continued for 170,000. Brinceanu, after a long tank preflop, also went into deep thought on the flop and called after around two minutes.
A K♥ landed on the turn and Ghashayar slowed down with a check, then Brinceanu bet 75,000. Ghashayar called.
When the 4♥ completed the board, Ghashayar checked once again, then Brinceanu grabbed chips and bet 175,000. Ghashayar shrugged his shoulders and somewhat reluctantly tossed in the call.
Brinceanu showed 8♦6♦ for just eight-high, and Ghashayar tabled the winner with Q♠Q♣ for a pair of queens.
