Andrew Knowles

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The PokerNews team was called over to a table in Horseshoe Blue section with a massive pot of close to 180,000 in the middle on a completed board showing 10♦5♥4♠K♦4♣. David Dawson moved all in from the big blind for 110,600 and his opponent in early position went deep in the tank.

After over five minutes of deliberation, the early position played reluctantly let his cards go and the pot was sent to Dawson without showdown.

"What do you guys think I have?" asked Dawson as the dealer shipped him the large pot.

A few tablemates said "full house" before Dawson stood up and slammed down Q♥J♣ for the queen-high bluff.

"Old guys don't bluff right?" joked Dawson as the whole table was shocked at what they saw. Dawson laughed with the table as he stacked his newly acquired chips.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Bryan Piccioli raised to 2,700 and faced a three-bet to 7,900 from two seats over. The button then pushed all-in for 41,700 and Piccioli went all-in over the top. The three-bettor folded and mentioned to have let go of pocket kings without showing them while Piccioli's A♦A♠ and the A♣A♥ of the button were exposed.

No upset took place on the 8♥7♦4♠J♥4♥ runout as they chopped it up.

"Good fold," Henry Li chimed in towards the third player in the hand.
