Yahyaei Picks Off a Bluff

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Tommy Townsend, in the big blind, called a raise from Majid Yahyaei in the cutoff. He check-called the flop and turn on a board of {5-Spades}{j-Hearts}{a-Spades}{2-Clubs}. He then fired out 250,000 on a {6-Diamonds} river. Yahyaei thought briefly before making the call.

Yahyaei: {a-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Townsend: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Townsend had bricked off his gutshot, and Yahyaei's top pair was good.
