Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Antonio Vargas
Antonio Vargas

The pot stood at around 900,000 with the board already showing 2♣8♠3♦K♥ on the turn. Antonio Vargas checked to Antonius Samuel, who bet 225,000. Vargas made the call.

The river brought the A♦ and Vargas checked again. Samuel moved most of his stack forward, leaving just 5,000 behind, putting 570,000 into the middle. Vargas went into the tank before making the call.

Samuel tabled Q♠J♠ for a bluff, while Vargas jumped up from his seat and showed 8♥6♥ for a pair of eights, enough to win the big pot and leave Samuel short.
