David Salituro

Level 1 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

With around 25,000 in the pot on a completed board of 4♣9♦7♠5♠8♠, Federico Fulciniti bet 21,000 from the hijack. Fayez Jarrad then moved all in for 65,000 on the button.

"Zero bluffs," Fulciniti said as he went deep into the tank. The clock was eventually called and Fulciniti allowed the countdown to reach zero before his hand was declared dead. He then flashed J♠9♠ as Jarrad took the pot.

"Zero bluffs," he repeated.

"Zero? Maybe," Jarrad replied.
