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 flop. Urbanovich check called a bet of 150,000. The Polish prodigy check called another 375,000 on the turn.
The hit the river and Urbanovich checked for a third time. Vogelsang carefully cut out 850,000 and slid them forward. Urbanovich wasn't the happiest camper in the world, but after some tanking he did somewhat reluctantly toss in a single 5,000 chip to indicate he was calling.

The flop came and Egan checked. Urbanovich, now receiving a cappuccino from a waitress and gulping it down, bet out 155,000. Vogelsang called, Egan quickly released.
