Gieles Picks Off Plesuv for It All
Level 5
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
There was around 30,000 in the middle on a board of 
with heads-up action between Pavel Plesuv in the big blind and Luuk Gieles, who was in early position. Plesuv had checked and was facing a bet of 16,500 from Gieles with the clock ticking down on his time bank. He threw in an extension and followed up with a check-raise to 41,500, which Gieles confirmed the amount before making the call.
The river came 
and Plesuv thought for a few moments before sliding the rest of his chips forward. Gieles immediately asked for a count and when the total of 53,000 was announced, he called just as quickly.
Plesuv tabled 
for a busted gutshot and Gieles quickly turned over 
, scoring the pot and the knockout with his kings up to take him over 300,000.
