Vogelsang Gets Caught Bluffing
Christoph Vogelsang is a really good poker player. There, we said it. He's just really really good. And for the last couple of tournaments we've covered him in, which are the biggest tournaments in the world, we haven't reported on may hands where he was caught bluffing. Most of the time really, he just had it or he wasn't called when he made big river bets.
This time, we did see him run a bluff that failed. And it was of course none other than Urbanovich making the arrest.
Urbanovich made it 125,000 from the hijack and Christoph Vogelsang on the button made the call. Both blinds folded and the dealer put out the

and Egan checked. Urbanovich, now receiving a cappuccino from a waitress and gulping it down, bet out 155,000. Vogelsang called, Egan quickly released. The 
on the turn made Urbanovich check. Vogelsang carefully gathered some chips and bet 350,000. Urbanovich, now offered some granola by his neighbour O'Dwyer, made the call.
and while Urbanovich was busy downing a bottle of still water, Vogelsang asked if he had checked. Urbanovich, a man of little words, just shook his head. After his water was done for, Urbanovich bet out a mere 285,000. Vogelsang called.
, but it wasn't going to win him the pot. Vogelsang tabled 
and took it down.
