Maeda Makes Ill-Timed Bluff
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Akinobu Maeda raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and was three-bet to 160,000 by Georgios Tsouloftas on the button.
Maeda made the call to the 3?K?7? flop, where he check-called the bet of 110,000 that Tsouloftas put in the middle.
The 4? turn was then checked through before Tsouloftas bet 350,000 on the J? river. Maeda shoved all in for 1,000,000 in response. Tsouloftas spent a short while in the tank before flicking in a calling chip.
Maeda tabled 5?5? for a pair of fives. Tsouloftas had that beat with K?Q? for top pair, raking in the big pot and ending up with more than 100 big blinds in his stack.
