"It's a Crazy River for Me"

Maxime Taldir

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Fabio Peluso opened to 1,100 from the hijack, and was called by both players in the blinds.

Peluso continued with a bet of 1,400 of the 9?A?5? flop, but Espen Sandvik check-raised to 4,000, while the big blind folded. Peluso called, then called again after Sandvik fired a second barrel of 5,400 on the turn 6?.

Peluso called once more and saw the Q? land on the river, where Sandvik moved all in for 36,000. "It's a crazy river for me," said Peluso, who called with his last 13,700 chips.

Fabio Peluso: A?Q?
Espen Sandvik:?3?3?

Peluso, with two pair, caught Sandvik bluffing and doubled up.
