Ciuca Goes For a Bluff
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Three-handed on a flop of 9?10?5?, Alexandru Budai bet 7,000 from the button and Victor Angelescu folded in the big blind before Andrei Ciuca, under the gun, raised to 20,000.
Budai quickly called to the 2? turn, where Ciuca bet another 17,000. Budai again called and the 8? fell on the river.
Ciuca slowed down and checked, and Budai checked back. "You win," Ciuca told him as Budai turned over Q?10? for top pair to win the pot.
