Brinceanu Bluffs a Chunk of His Stack Over to Ghashayar
Jakub Sterba opened from middle position to 32,000 and Marius Brinceanu three-bet the button to 80,000 before Iman Ghashayar four-bet the big blind to 255,000. Sterba folded, and after three minutes, Brinceanu called.
They went to a flop of 3?J?2? where Ghashayar continued for 170,000. Brinceanu, after a long tank preflop, also went into deep thought on the flop and called after around two minutes.
A K? landed on the turn and Ghashayar slowed down with a check, then Brinceanu bet 75,000. Ghashayar called.
When the 4? completed the board, Ghashayar checked once again, then Brinceanu grabbed chips and bet 175,000. Ghashayar shrugged his shoulders and somewhat reluctantly tossed in the call.
Brinceanu showed 8?6? for just eight-high, and Ghashayar tabled the winner with Q?Q? for a pair of queens.
