Brinceanu Picks Off a Big Bluff From Sterba
Level 18
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Marius Brinceanu raised to 35,000 in early position and Rafi Elharar and Jakub Sterba came along from the blinds.
All three players checked the 6?9?5? flop. The turn was the 2? and Sterba bet 72,000. Brinceanu called, while Elharar got out of the way.
The 6? fell on the river and Sterba bet another 225,000. Brinceanu snap-called with K?K?, while Sterba could only show J?2? for a pair of deuces as Brinceanu raked in the big pot.
