Berndtson's Blocker Bluff Fails
Level 6
: 200/400, 400 ante
There was already a sizable pot brewing between Touko Berndtson and Sergei Istsenko when action was on the latter. The board was completed with 
and Istsenko bet 10,000, Berndtson check-raised all in for 46,200, and Istsenko called it off after some thought.
Berndtson, defeated, flipped 
open on the felt for just the ace of hearts. Istsenko tabled 
for the king-high flush to soar to 150,000 in chips.
"Good bluff," Istsenko complimented Berndtson in an unsarcastic way. Good bluff or not, the bold attempt had failed and Berndston bought himself back in for another attempt.
