Matt Affleck led out 8,500 from the small blind with {J-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} on the felt. He was in a heads-up pot against a player in middle position, who called. The {5-Clubs} on the turn seemed to be a brick, and Affleck pulled the trigger. He shoved his remaining 18,200 in, puzzling the opponent.

Affleck's rival laid it down after about a one-minute tank, begging for free info. "Show me a bluff," he tried.

However, Affleck stayed calm, showing no expression and sliding his cards carefully into the muck.
