"F*ckin' river" said Mizrachi as he showed for a flopped two pair that was counterfeited on the river. Bloch tabled for the same two pair, jacks and fives, but with an ace kicker. No low was possible and Bloch scooped the pot.
"Everyone keeps trying to tell them, 'Don't bluff me!'" laughed Bloch.

Matusow exploded with laughter. "You can't bluff Andy!" he said, cackling away. "Who stakes that guy?" he wondered aloud.
Phil Ivey almost imperceptibly looked up at them from under the brim of his baseball cap.
