Pot-Limit Omaha
Aden Salazar opened to 500,000 from the button. Sandeep Pulusani, the small blind, and Esther Taylor, the big blind, both called.
The 
flop was checked through to the 
turn. Pulusani led out with a pot sized bet of 1,750,000. Taylor got out of the way but Salazar came along for the ride.
Pulusani checked the 
river over to Salazar, who potted for a bet of around 5,600,000. Pulusani would be at risk should he make the call. Evidently not ready to go home yet, Pulusani made the laydown, giving the pot to Salazar.
"Good bluff," Taylor told Salazar.
"Everyone always thinks I'm bluffing," he responded.
"That was a bluff," Taylor stated matter of factly.
"How are you so sure?" Salazar posited while stacking his chips.
