Goncalves Bluff Catches Versus Hafner
Alan Ferraro opened to 20,000 under the gun and received a call from Mathieu Goncalves in middle position. Lukas Hafner was on the button, and he produced a three-bet to 70,000. Only Goncalves called.
On the Q?8?8? flop, Goncalves led out with a bet of 39,000. After some thought, Hafner called.
The K? rolled off on the turn, and Goncalves fired out a bet of 65,000. After a period of deliberation, Hafner moved all in for 200,000. Goncalves took a minute or two to think before making the call.
Lukas Hafner: 9?9? 
Mathieu Goncalves: K?J?
Hafner had turned his third pair nines into a bluff, and needed to spike a nine on the river versus Goncalves' top pair kings, but it didn't come on the 7? river. Hafner departed the tournament area, while Goncalves celebrated taking down the big pot enthusiastically.
