Zack Doesn't Show a Bluff

Level 35 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Jimmy D'Ambrosio and Daniel Zack had taken another break and are actually behind in the blind level as a result of it. They returned to action not long ago and Zack won a pot without showdown. He bet the {k-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} river for 50,000 and D'Ambrosio let go.

He mucked the {k-Clubs} face-up with the words "write that down, he is not going to show me a bluff." Sure enough, Zack flashed an ace and scooped the pot. D'Ambrosio has almost closed the gap to his opponent, however, despite losing this pot.
