Moolhuizen Catches Vaka Bluffing

Maxime Taldir

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Two times Unibet Open winner Mateusz Moolhuizen three-bet to 1,700 on the button after Georgios Tavoularis opened to 300 from under the gun, and Monica Vaka called from early position.

Moolhuizen bet 2,400 on the flop 2?5?6? and made Tavoularis fold. But Vaka check-raised to 5,100. Moolhuizen eventually called, and called again when Vaka fired a second barrel of 8,500 on the turn 7?.

The 7? landed on the river, and Vaka moved all in for 13,200.

"You have deuces, sixes or fives," said Moolhuizen. He explained he couldn't fold, so he called with K?K?. Vaka showed A?10? for a missed flush draw that she turned into a bluff, and stood up to leave the tournament area. She is the first player eliminated of the day.
