Yu Catches the Bluff

Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ark Onikul opened to 14,000 in middle position and action folded around to the big blind, where Sean Yu defended. The flop came and Yu checked. Onikul made a continuation-bet of 7,000 and Yu called, bringing the turn
where both players checked.
The river fell and Yu extended his fingers, tapping them onto the felt several times to check once more. Onikul bet 21,000 and Yu immediately reached for chips, grabbing the same amount and tossing it into the middle. Both players tabled their hands immediately and simultaneously.
Ark Onikul:
Sean Yu:
Yu's top pair, top kicker earned him the pot at Onikul's expense after Onikul missed a backdoor gutshot straight draw and bluffed the river with it.
