Livello 46 : Blinds 4,000,000/8,000,000, 8,000,000 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.

Rhian Fineis Eliminated in 5th Place ($255,210)

Livello 45 : Blinds 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante

Ryan McKnight raised under the gun with K♥Q♠. The action reached Rhian Fineis in the small blind who three-bet all in for a total of 81,500,000 with A♥J♣. Tyler Brown woke up in the big blind with 10♦10♣ and cold four-bet shoved covering both players. McKnight folded and Fineis was at risk.

Rhian Fineis: A♥J♣
Tyler Brown: 10♦10♣

The board came 4♣8♥2♣6♣6♥. The tens held and Fineis exited to the rail in 5th place.

Tauan De Oliveira Naves Eliminated in 6th ($198,320)

Livello 44 : Blinds 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante

Steven Thompson in the small blind with 10♦9♥ raised enough to put Tauan De Oliveira Naves all in. Naves looked down at A♠J♠ and snap-called for his last 39,000,000.

Tauan De Oliveira Naves: A♠J♠
Steven Thompson: 10♦9♥

The flop came 7♠10♣J♣ giving Naves the lead with a pair of jacks. However, the 8♠ on the turn completed Thompson's straight meaning Naves would need some help on the river. The 5♥ fell on the river sealing Naves' fate as he exited in 6th place.
