The seconds were counted down before Matuson open-folded pocket queens.

'You want to see it?' asked Kassouf. 'Sick bluff. Turned the double-gutter and missed. Never mind. Nine-high like a boss.'

The Semi Bluff

The Heads Up Bluff

A year earlier, at the 2018 WSOP Main Event, a mammoth ten-hour heads-up battle between John Cynn and Tony Miles culminated in Cynn winning $8.8m and the WSOP Main Event bracelet.

The One Drop Bluff

Not all bluffs occur in the Main Event, naturally, so we thought we'd shine the spotlight on another notable bluff in the $1,000,000 WSOP Big One for One Drop that occurred back in 2014.

At the final table, Scott Seiver raised to 1.2 million and Tobias Reinkemeier defended his big blind with .

The flop was and Reinkemeier check-called 1.5 million. The turn was the and Reinkemeier checked again. Seiver moved all in for 6.8 million into a pot of just 6.2 million.

Reinkemeier asked for a count and went deep into the tank. 'Scott I was trapping,' Reinkemeier said before the two had a short back-and-forth.

'I wouldn't normally fold this,' said Reinkemeier before the clock was called on him. The decision had taken over ten minutes before he eventually folded.

'No chance that's aces, that would be impossible,' said Seiver before the dealer turned them over. 'How can you do that!' He showed his king-ten.

'Nice hand,' replied Reinkemeier.
