Backhaus Shows a Bluff

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Sandro Carucci was in the small blind and already had a raise of 4,800 in front of him. Dennis Backhaus made it 8,600 to go from the big blind and Carucci called.

Carucci check-called a 5,500 bet from Backhaus on the 5♠10♥7♥ flop and checked again on the 6♣ turn.

Backhaus bet enough to put Carucci all in for his last 30,400, sending Carucci into the tank.

"I needed to see a heart on the turn," Carucci said before sending his cards into the muck.

Backhaus turned over A♣Q♦ for just ace-high before collecting the pot.
