Zukowicz Catches a Bluff

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Monika Zukowicz
Monika Zukowicz

Feng Qu opened from middle position and Monika Zukowicz called from the hijack.

Both players checked the Q?10?4? flop leading to the 2? on the turn. Qu bet 4,000, Zukowicz check-raised to to 10,500 and Qu made the call.

The 3? river completed the potential backdoor flush draw and Qu bet 32,000. Zukowicz thought for roughly 45 seconds before making the call.

Qu could only show A?9? for a pure bluff while Zukowicz tabled 2?2? for bottom set to take down a sizable pot.

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya also recently sat down at this table and is off to a good start on his second bullet, having already doubled up from his starting stack.
