Van Fleet's Bluff Gets Through
Level 38
: 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Abdullah Alshanti opened to 2,000,000 from the cutoff, getting calls from Daniel Marcus on the button and Jon Van Fleet in the big blind.
The 
flop was checked through, before Alshanti fired 1,800,000 on the 
turn. Marcus folded and Van Fleet began counting chips. After carefully removing and adding chips to get his raise size just right, he pushed 7,300,000 into the middle. Alshanti thought for a bit, before making the laydown. Van Fleet sat there with a huge grin on his face as he stacked his chips back up.
"That was a bluff," Alshanti said to him, seemingly half asking and half stating for a known fact.
"Yeah it was," Van Fleet responded, sending himself and the table into uproarious laughter.
