Value Bet Or Bluff by Toth?
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Iurii Okolovich opened to 12,000 from under the gun and Istvan Toth called in the next seat with Mehmet Demirkol three-betting to 37,000 in the cutoff. Okolovich folded, and Toth called.
They went to a flop of 2?8?9? where Toth check-called a bet of 17,000 from Demirkol, then they both checked the 5? turn.
An 8? paired the board on the river and Toth fired 30,000, which Demirkol called.
Toth seemed a bit reluctant to show then flipped 3?3? for a pair of threes, which were good for the pot as Demirkol mucked. It's unknown if that was a value bet or a bluff by Toth, but he reaped the rewards and knuckled on the table in celebration as he scooped in the pot.
