Svesko Picks Off a Bluff

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Boris Smuskevicius opened to 4,000 from middle position and Darko Svesko defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the 10?9?3? flop leading to the K? turn. Svesko bet 4,000 and Smuskevicius check-raised to 15,000. Svesko made the call.

On the 9? river Svesko checked and Smuskevicius bet 40,000. Svesko called after taking a minute to consider his options.

Smuskevicius immediately mucked after being called on the river and Svesko took down a healthy pot without having to show the winning hand.
