Deeb Picks Off Lupascu's Bluff
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Matei Lupascu opened to 60,000 from middle position and received calls from Shaun Deeb on the button and David Hochheim in the big blind.
The flop came A?A?5?. Hoccheim checked, Deeb bet 40,000, Lupascu called and Hoccheim folded.
Both players checked the 10? turn leading to the 5? river. Lupascu bet 130,000 and Deeb quickly called.
Lupascu had 4?4? for a counterfeited pocket pair. Deeb had just a king-kicker to the two pair on the board with K?J? which was good to take the pot.
