Multiway to a 5♦8♠6♦ flop, Christopher Frank bet 9,500 from the big blind. Isaac Haxton was the only interested party, and he called on the button. Frank sized up to 36,000 on the 3♥ turn, getting a quick fold from Haxton.

"I bluffed you, Ike," Frank gleefully said as he tabled 8♣7♣.

"You were ahead," Haxton dryly responded.
