If you're looking for players to bluff, then someone who's been playing for 50 years and seen more hands than I've had hot dinners probably isn't the wisest of choices. However, taking a shot at someone as legendary as Doyle Brunson is always tempting.

I joined the action with the board reading {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

. Wilf Saar led out for 700, and the wily veteran made the call. On the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

river, Saar paused momentarily, before conceding his hand and checking it down. Whilst Saar shamelessly showed his {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

, Brunson scooped the pot with {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{5-Spades}

.

Would Brunson have called a big bluff on the river? We'll never know...
