Matei Calls Saliba's Bluff
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Vivian Saliba opened to 3,000 in the hijack and was quickly three-bet to 7,100 by Alexandru Matei on her left. Saliba called to the J?K?A? flop.
Saliba checked to Matei, who continued for 3,500 and the call was made. Both players then checked the 2? turn. After the dealer revealed the 5? river, Saliba bet enough to cover Alexandru Matei's stack of around 38,000
Matei went into the tank contemplating a decision, taking a few minutes before making the call.
Saliba tapped the table as she showed 10?10? for a pair of tens. Matei then turned over A?Q? for top pair, good enough to double his stack and leave Saliba short.
