Deion Sanders Does the Trick as Tardif Gets Bluffed
Level 7
: 700/1,400, 1,400 ante
On a 
board, Patrick Tardif checked and his opponent bet 9,700. Tardif called.
Tardif checked for the second time on the 
turn.
"Let's try again," his opponent said. "You know Deion Sanders?"
Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders wore the number 21 for much of his 14-year career in the NFL and the bet was 21,000.
Tardiff eventually folded.
"You want me to show?" asked his opponent.
"You don't have to," came the reply from Tardif, but he was shown 
for an eight-high bluff.

Punish the Limpers
Level 7
: 700/1,400, 1,400 ante
There were a couple of limps from early position and David Eldridge raised it up to 6,000 on the button. Henrik Hecklen called from the big blind along with the limpers, one of them being Kahle Burns.
The flop fell 
and the action checked around to the 
on the turn. Once again, the action checked to Eldridge who was ready to fire in a bet this time. He made it 19,000 and Hecklen quickly folded. The under-the-gun player thought for a minute but let his hand go and Burns quickly followed suit.

The three-bettor folded and after some consideration, Miles followed suit.
Meanwhile, Anson Tsang and Dario Sammartino have been eliminated, with Ramin Hajiyev doubling up. He turned a flush to double for just under starting stack.

Linde and Speranza Chop Up a Fun One
Level 7
: 700/1,400, 1,400 ante
There was a raise to 3,600 from under the gun and a call from middle position. Gianluca Speranza called from the cutoff and Dylan Linde stuck in a three-bet to 19,000 on the button. The initial raiser folded but the player in middle position called. Gianluca Speranza ripped all in for a little over 70,000 and Linde did the same for a little over 80,000. The other player finally folded and the two remaining players tabled their hands.
Dylan Linde: 
Gianluca Speranza: 
The table got a good laugh as both players tabled the same hand after all of the preflop action. The board ran out 
with hardly any sweat at all.
