Livello 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Marie Kabaki raised from the hijack to 40,000 and Farhad Jamasi defended in the big blind.

The flop came K♣2♥9♣ and Jamasi checked the action over to Kabaki who continued for 35,000. In response, Jamasi check-raised to 125,000 and Kabaki called.

The river fell the 9♥ and Jamasi again checked the hand over to Kabaki who put an additional 225,000 chips in the pot. Action back on Jamasi, he went for the back-to-back check raise shoving all in for 832,000.

After minutes in the tank the hand went to a showdown and the cards were on their backs:

Farhad Jamasi: A♣9♠
Marie Kabaki: K♥Q♦

The river didn't improve Kabaki and she shipped a massive pot in the direction of Jamasi leaving herself with only 58,000.

The Two Failed Bluffs in One Week that Cost Doug Polk $700k

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Chris Moneymaker had the Bluff of the Century in 2003. This past week, Doug Polk had perhaps the Failed Bluff of the Century.

On Sunday, heads-up for a bracelet, Polk bluffed off a significant portion of his stack at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) less than one week after his infamous bluff attempt that didn't get through on Hustler Casino Live's $1 million game.

In both instances, the Upswing Poker founder had a busted draw and attempted to use aggression to coerce his opponents into folding somewhat marginal holdings in massive pots. Both times, however, his efforts were unsuccessful and quite costly.
