Luboš shows the bluff

Luboš Galuška remains the overwhelming chip leader but he has dictated a less ferocious pace than predecessor Tibor Boros.

A number of smaller pots have continued to magnetise towards the Czech through a mixture of strong hands and superior play, with one bluff earning the 'flip for all to see' after Galuška bet Mariusz Chrusciel into submission.

The Pole had raised in a blind battle and been called by the big stack before the flop came J♦3♣10♠.

Chrusciel check-called and the play replicated on the 7♥ turn, Luboš undeterred by his tight opponent's apparent willingness to go all the way.

The home player refused to relent on the 6♥ river, setting his opponent all-in, and after much thought Mariusz reluctantly mucked.

It sparked a rare moment of triumph from Galuška, who gleefully showed the bluff and his K5o, almost enjoying it more than stacking Boros earlier tonight!
