button in SafariAtes Sniffs Out Bluff to Surpass Million Chip Mark
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
With a raise to 20,000 ahead of him, Chunghau Liao three-bet to 75,000 in middle position. Orhan Ates called on the button, but the original raiser folded.
Liao continued with a 40,000 bet on the 5♥9♣9♠ flop, which Ates called. The K♠ turn saw the same pattern as Liao fired 130,000 into the pot, and Ates called.
The 6♥ river saw Liao empty the clip, moving all in, having the 263,000 stack of Ates covered. Ates took his time before flicking a chip in to call. Liao tabled A♠8♥ for nothing more than an ace-high bluff, and an elated Ates tabled 10♦10♣, to claim a huge double-up and move past the million-chip mark.
