Almeida Calls Down Banicevic's Three Barrel Bluff
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Pablo Almeida raised to 5,000 from early position with A?K? and Vlado Banicevic three-bet to 16,500 from the cutoff with A?10?, which Almeida called.
The flop came 4?K?7? and Almeida checked his pair of kings. Banicevic bet 10,000 and Almeida called. The turn was the 5? and Almeida checked again. Banicevic continued his bluff with a bet of 28,000 and Almeida called.
The river came the 5? and Almeida checked a third street. Banicevic moved all in with the bigger stack, still running a bluff, and Almeida called for 47,000 to win the pot and double his stack.
