Guyon Shoves on Vella; Shows a Bluff

Livello 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Vito Vella opened to 16,000 from under the gun and was called by Adrien Guyon in the cutoff and Grzegorz Glowny in the big blind.

Glowny checked to Vella on the A♦7♦10♠ flop and he continued for 30,000. Guyon called and Glowny folded.

The K♥ fell on the turn and Vella barreled for 65,000. Guyon again called.

Vella slowed down and checked after the K♠ completed the board and Guyon used up a time extension before announcing he was all in — sending Vella deep into the tank.

Vella eventually laid his hand down after using up a couple time extensions and Guyon turned over 9♦8♦ as he collected the pot, which got a "Nice hand," from Vella.
