Mystery Man Makes Major Bluff

Level 6 : 100/200, 0 ante

We caught up with the action with the board reading {8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{3-Spades}. A mountain of multicolored chips sat in the middle and the pot looked to hold around 12,000 chips. A player in the big blind, who preferred not to be named, had pushed all-in for a bet of 7,125 and his opponent went deep into the tank.

After nearly three minutes of contemplation, the clock was called and the dealer began to count down the time remaining in the hand. The player faced with the all-in bet finally decided to muck his cards as the count neared its conclusion.

Our mystery man then defiantly flipped over his {7-Spades}{9-Spades} for a pure bluff, needling the other player in the process as he dragged the massive pot in his direction.
