Tulepbergenov Picks Off a Bluff
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Samuel Dray raised to 50,000 in early position and Azamat Tulepbergenov called in the hijack. Action folded to George Panagides in the small blind who took a minute without acting. The table then reminded him it was his turn and he quickly mucked.
The flop came 5?7?4? and Dray continued for 35,000. Tulepbergenov called and the 5? fell on the turn.
Dray then bet 65,000 and Tulepbergenov again called. The river was the 7? and Dray bet 190,000, leaving himself just 25,000 behind. Tulepbergenov quickly called and Dray was forced to show Q?J? for a bluff.
Tulepbergenov turned over A?10? for two pair with his ace-kicker to win the pot.
