Huge Bluff by Kruezi
After a limp in early position, Jeffrey Rogers raised to 3,400 from middle position and was called by Denny Kruezi in the cutoff. Erik Eisen in the big blind raised again to 17,500 and both Rogers and Kruezi called.
All three of them checked the K♦A♣2♣ flop leading to the 7♦ turn where Eisen bet 20,000. Rogers folded, but Kruezi made the call.
The 10♦ river was checked by Eisen who saw Kruezi moving all in for 33,800. Eisen went deep into the tank for nearly three minutes while Kruezi tried to talk to him. “You have the ace of diamonds?” he asked repeatedly.
A floorman intervened, warning Kruezi he wasn’t allowed to discuss the hand’s outcome. Eventually, the clock was called on Eisen, but he couldn't make a decision at the end of the countdown and his hand was declared dead.
Kruezi then slammed 7♣4♣ face up on the table for the third pair and claimed the pot.
