Bruce Bluffer?

Bruce Buffer
Bruce Buffer
We pick up the action on the river in a hand between Bruce Buffer and a friendly player at his table. The board reads {A-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}. Buffer is in the small blind position, and he puts out a bet of 2,500. His opponent goes deep into the tank, taking at least five or six minutes before letting his hand go.

Buffer says, "I'll show you once," and flips over {A-Hearts} {A-Spades}.

His opponent nodded knowingly and said, "That's the only thing I thought you coulda had."

After that, Buffer makes a comment about how he was willing to show his hand on Day 1, but that the free information sharing would be over starting with Day 2.

Bruce Buffer is certainly popular in his television and promotion role, but few would argue that he is perfectly adept on the felt as well. In three years of tournament play, Bruce has racked up more than $100,000 in cashes.
