Dan Shak bet 6,000 into a pot of 12,000 on the turn of a board showing 
. Achille Voltolina, his only opponent sat to his left, moved all in for 24,000. Shak tried to make sense of it.
“Makes no sense at all.” Shak said and contemplated both his opponent and the board for a while. “No sense. How can you have a three in your hand? Set?” The confusion was complete and a frustrated Shak showed the 
and mucked his hand.
Encouraged to “Show the bluff.” Voltolina turned over his 
. “I folded the winner.” Shak insisted claiming his other card was a 
before trying to question his opponent on whether he was worried about the straightening board on the turn. The language barrier proved to be an obstacle too far but Voltolina seemed to be saying he had over cards and was not worried at all.
“It made no sense.” Shak appealed to the table and finally got a, “No sense.” agreement from another player.

Ori Miller just skyrocketed his stack to 140,000 thanks to successfully picking off a big bluff run by Adrien Guyon.
When we arrived at the table, Miller had 6,875 in front of him and Guyon had 12,675 in front of him. Guyon was in position and action was back on Miller. Miller took some time, and then reraised to 19,200. Guyon called to take a flop.
The flop came down , and both players checked to see the 
land on the turn. Miller led for 7,700, but Guyon fought back a little harder with a raise to 17,000. Miller tanked, then called.
After the 
fell on the river, Miller checked. With around 20,000 left in his stack, maybe slightly less, Guyon moved all in. Miller went back into the tank with a look of pain stricken across his face. Eventually, he made the call.
Guyon had the 
for just queen high. Miller saw that and turned up his 
for a pair of aces, and his hand baffled Guyon, who couldn't quite believe his bluff didn't work against Miller's ace-ten.
Needless to say, the table was quite intrigued by this hand, and especially by the two hands that were turned over at the showdown given how big the action was.
