Ajez Bluffs Thiriart off a Monster
Heads up to the flop of J♥9♠K♣ with close to 1,000,000 in the pot.
Najeem Ajez led out from early position for 250,000 and was called by Arthur Thiriart in the cutoff.
The turn brought the 10♣ and Ajez fired a second bullet of 400,000. Thiriart tanked for a while and made the call.
On the J♣ river, Ajez thought briefly and checked it over to Thiriart, who went into the tank for a good two to three minutes before he fired out a river bet of 675,000. Ajez went back into the tank briefly before he moved all in.
Thiriart went deeper into the tank for nearly eight minutes and the clock was called. Just before it expired, he mucked his hand and Ajez, with much jubilation, slammed down K♠8♠ to show the bluff.
In other action, we lost Ehsan Amiri and Yuliyan Kolev on another table,
