Varnaev Caught Bluffing, Novak Chips Up Early
Level 1
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Sergei Varnaev, who won the High Roller at the Western Series just a few months ago, just got caught bluffing in a hand against online superstar Andrii Novak.
The pot already had around 25,000 in it on the full board of 2?J?4?4?J? when Varnaev bet 23,800 from under the gun. Novak was in the cutoff and after thinking it over for a while, he tossed in a chip to make the call.
Varnaev then knuckled the table as if to say 'nice hand', then revealed A?Q? for ace-high. Novak then flipped 6?6? for a pair of sixes to scoop the pot.
