"Didn't this happen before once?" Scott asked the button. "And I bet the flop and you raised." Scott's opponent said nothing.
"Let's have another crack at it." Scott rapped the table to decline his option, prompting the dealer to produce a flop of

"I'll wait for your decision."
"I check then," Scott replied. His opponent quickly bet 4,000. Scott flashed the

During some events we've witnessed Steicke accumulate so many chips that his wall has literally taken up over a third of the table. We believe one of his life-long poker goals is to one day accumulate enough chips to circle the table in its entirety.
The "Great Wall of Steicke" has just started production here at the APT Macau as his 60,000-plus chip stack is starting to make his neighbours nervous!
Woo thought his
was strong but wouldn't you know it, his opponents flipped 
and 
!"Lucky they weren't deeper!" said one player to Woo who replied, "I guess so, but I'd probably call anyway!"
The board bricked out
(where's the 9-2 big blind special this time?) and the short-stacked aces finds a triple up, as Woo slips to 55,000.
With about 16,000 chips already in the pot, Kinkade was facing a suspiciously small bet of 4,500 from his opponent on the river of a
board. Kinkade thought things over for a minute. Then he picked up his cards."It's a sick bluff if it's a bluff," he said as he pitched his cards into the dealer.
"Since you called it, one time," said Kinkade's opponent. He opened
for a busted flush draw. He was playing the board."Ahhhhh," groaned a disgusted Kinkade. "So sick. I almost called you with a ten." Kinkade's opponent grinned the grin of the cat that ate the canary.
"It would have been such a sick call," continued Kinkade. "But you bet the exact same amount on the river as you did on the turn and no one ever does that on a bluff. If you had bet 5,300 I would have called."
Casey Kastle added his own two cents. "I knew you were on a bluff," he told Kinkade's opponent. "I wasn't 100% sure but I was about 97% sure. I would have called you in a second with his hand."
Kinkade didn't give any reaction to Kastle's remarks. He seemed too busy wallowing in his own pit of bluffed-out pain.
The dealer then attempted to confirm with Kastle that he was indeed all in, and Kastle hesistated - perhaps just realizing that the big stack of Akerblom was still to act behind him.
Again Kastle was asked for confirmation and he asked what his options were at this point and if he was to be held to an all-in since he had said nothing.
The floor was called and the ruling was simple. Since Kastle had thrown the "All In" disc in from of him, that was binding as an all-in move.
After the confusion, Akerblom quickly stepped aside and the cards were tabled.

- and Shuts quickly grabbed his cards which were yet to hit the muck and turned over 
pretending to still be live in the hand. The dealer quickly grabbed the cards and mucked them as the table got a chuckle from the attempted maneuver.However they roared when the flop landed
