Big Stack Attack

One table was recently treated to an entertaining hand, two big stacks going at it hammer and tongs and sending an emphatic "mess with us at your peril" message to their fellow players.

With a {2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop waiting patiently on the felt, the two players went raise crazy, Jonas Danielson making a big all in push in an effort to win the pot there and then.

After a long pause, his opponent eventually made the call and showed {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. As the hand was tabled, the other players' eyes widened, and even more so when it emerged that Danielson was bluffing with {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.

Although the drama would have been enhanced with an ace or nine on the turn or river, it didn't emerge, the final two streets bring a {4-Diamonds} and {8-Spades}.
