Kovalski Catches a Bluff
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
In a heads-up pot on a flop of 7?7?5?, the big blind led out for 40,000 and Fabiano Kovalski raised to 77,000 on the button. The big blind called.
The big blind checked on the A? turn and Kovalski sized down to 40,000. The big blind called.
The A? river completed the board and the big blind took some time before leading out for 40,000. Kovalski gave it some thought and called. The big blind could only show a bluff with 8?5? as Kovalski showed 9?7? to win the pot with sevens full of aces.
