The player on the button raised to 1,000 and the small blind three-bet to 4,100. Anthony Marquez called from the big blind and the button folded. The flop came out 9♥K♥2♣ and the small blind place a bet of 3,500 that Marquez called.
The turn came the 4♦ and the small blind led again for 3,800. Marquez came over the top, raising to 9,000.
The small blind attempted to elicit information from Marquez but in the end made the fold. Marquez flipped over A♠J♠ for the bluff and said with a smile, "I did it for PokerNews."

On a flop of 8♠10♦2♠, Joe Teanotoga and Jason Prichard became entangled in a betting war that ended with them both getting all their chips in the middle, with Prichard at risk.
Jason Prichard: A♠10♠
Joe Teanotoga: K♥K♠
Teanotogo started off ahead with his pair of kings, but the runout of 5♦ and 9♠ gave Prichard the flush on the river to win him the pot for the double-up.
"Wow, I thought you were going to hold for sure, my friend," Prichard said as he raked in the pot. "You've been running so hot."
