Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Erik Seidel went viral years back when he correctly called Dzmitry Urbanovich with jack-high, and the Poker Hall of Famer put those same bluff-catching skills on display today in the PokerGO Studio.

In a heads-up pot between Seidel in the hijack and Mugar in the big blind, Mugar bet a hefty amount that included a pink 25,000 chip on the board of 5♠10♦5♥Q♠10♥. Seidel mulled it over and eventually called.

Mugar showed an eight-high bluff with 8♥7♦ as Seidel then turned over A♠8♠ to win the pot with just ace-high.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Dylan Linde open-jammed for 55,000 from under the gun and Jeremy Ausmus called from the next seat.

Dylan Linde: A♦5♠ All in
Jeremy Ausmus: A♠10♦

Ausmus thought his opponent had aces and let out a sigh of relief as he saw he had his opponent dominated. But his relief was short-lived as the flop landed K♥K♦5♦ to pair Linde's kicker before the runout of 7♥9♣ confirmed a double for Linde.

Peter Mugar raised in the cutoff and Darren Rabinowitz three-bet most of his stack of 65,000 on the button. Mugar re-raised all in and Rabinowitz called with his crumbs.

Darren Rabinowitz: A♥9♥ All in
Peter Mugar: K♦10♥

The board ran out Q♣7♦8♦7♥4♥ to earn Rabinowitz z double through the table chip leader.

In a heads-up pot on a board of J♦6♦Q♣10♦5♠, Rodger Johnson checked and Alex Foxen bet 95,000. Johnson took a moment and called.
