Five-Bet Bluff from Almeida

Pierre Almeida

Pierre Almeida

Dmitry Varlamov opened from the button for 33,000, but in the big blind Pierre Almeida made it 85,000 to go. Back to Varlamov, who four-bet to 143,000 – and then Almeida who five-bet to 300,000.

Varlamov snap-folded to the five-bet, showing the table the :::Kd. He was probably not best pleased when Almeida revealed :::5s :::8s before raking in the pot.
