Wiener Wins One With a 'Bluff'
Level 17
: 400/800, 100 ante
Matt Glantz opened to 1,800 from the cutoff and Mel Wiener, Andy Philachack and Olivier Busquet all joined along to see a 
flop. It was checked to Glantz who led out for 3,500 with both Wiener and Busquet calling. The action was the same on the 
turn except for the bet being 11,000.
On the 
river, it was checked to Wiener who deliberated before betting 35,000. Busquet and Glantz both thought for a bit before folding and Wiener announced "Nothing special, I bluffed you guys." Except Wiener turned over 
for a full house and was obviously kidding about the bluff.

and Ha checked. Kellner bet 4,000 and Ha called.
The turn brought the 
and Ha checked once more. Kellner bet again, 11,500 this time. After a few moments of thought, Ha folded, and Kellner took the pot.
