Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action was picked up on the flop of 2♦K♦4♠ with approximately 100,000 in the middle. A player in late position bet 70,000, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Ralph Claudio made the call.
Play was heads-up when the turn came the 10♦ and the middle-position player moved all in for his remaining 5,000. Claudio made the call to put his opponent at risk.
Late Position: A♦9♦10♥8♥
Ralph Claudio: K♠6♣3♣10♠
The river was the 3♠ and Claudio's two pair was enough to eliminate his opponent and catapult his stack above 1,000,000.

The Two Failed Bluffs in One Week that Cost Doug Polk $700k
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Chris Moneymaker had the Bluff of the Century in 2003. This past week, Doug Polk had perhaps the Failed Bluff of the Century.
On Sunday, heads-up for a bracelet, Polk bluffed off a significant portion of his stack at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) less than one week after his infamous bluff attempt that didn't get through on Hustler Casino Live's $1 million game.
In both instances, the Upswing Poker founder had a busted draw and attempted to use aggression to coerce his opponents into folding somewhat marginal holdings in massive pots. Both times, however, his efforts were unsuccessful and quite costly.

Deeb Takes Another One Out
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
A player from middle position raised to 20,000 and Shaun Deeb three-bet to 72,000. The middle-position player moved all in for slightly more and Deeb made the call to put his opponent at risk.
Middle Position: A♥Q♥10♦5♠
Shaun Deeb: K♣10♠9♥9♣
The board ran out J♦8♥4♠4♣9♦.
"Oh, you made a straight," Deeb commented, but it was not enough to overcome the full house Deeb made on the river. Deeb eliminated his opponent and is now sitting on one of the bigger stacks in the room.
