After facing a raise from early position preflop Paul Pierce and four others made the call to see a flop.

{9-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} all graced the felt. Two players checked, and Pierce fired out a bet, The Button and the Small Blind both came along for a turn, while the other two players folded.

A {3-Hearts} hit the turn, and Pierce moved all in. After some deliberation both players folded and Pierce showed the table {J-Clubs} {7-Clubs} for a gut shot draw bluff.
