Messalas Smells a Bluff
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Alexios Messalas opened the action with a raise preflop from middle position before calling a three-bet from Marcin Kacprzak in the hijack.
The pair then saw the 2?2?9? flop appear, on which Messalas check-called a 3,500 continuation-bet of Kacprzak. The 6? turn saw Kacprzak up the ante to 6,500, and Messalas once again check-called.
Messalas checked for a third time on the J? river and Kacprzak went for it all when he jammed for 15,800 chips. Messalas had the covering stack and went deep into the tank.
After several minutes, he exclaimed: "I know it's a bluff, but I don't know which one". After some more thinking time, he made the fold, however, surrendering the pot to his opponent.
