King of hearth really helped him a lot to make that call,because he knew that Pavel have flush or he is bluffing,but he had king in his hand so when you think about it in most of the times pavel cant have flush,still that was amazing tournament and heads up,isildur almost lost all then came back,he is really an amazing player
Judging by the cards, Isildur had no reason not to believe the flush, he played like a fish, but he was lucky, the board had the power to kill his fish pair with a low kicker. But maybe they are both tired or they had other reasons but the fact remains a fact 🙂
Both players have been playing at the same table for quite some time and I think they have learned each other perfectly! So one bluff ! When you play at the same table with the opponent for a very long time, you begin to understand his thoughts, this is poker and he is good at it, this game captures completely!
No question is was a tough call to make, based on the action, pavel was repping a draw the entire way, whether it was a doamond draw brokenn or a heart draw hit, he was calling as if he were on a draw. The fact that he was able to make the decision it was a broken draw and his K was top pair is a really good read on your opponent but more so, a really good read on the overall play of the hand. Call of the century? Maybe, maybe not, but when making the call knowing you are risking top prize, yea, I would say it was a huge call.
I think that a lot of decide to bluff was the fact that the game has already lasted for many hours! Fatigue accumulates and the bluff was successful, he could have a flush and a pair A ! Dare to open such all in - that is courage!BigGrayWolf said:
