Chris Moneymaker had the Bluff of the Century in 2003. This past week, Doug Polk had perhaps the Failed Bluff of the Century.
On Sunday, heads-up for a bracelet, Polk bluffed off a significant portion of his stack at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) less than one week after his infamous bluff attempt that didn't get through on Hustler Casino Live's $1 million game.
In both instances, the Upswing Poker founder had a busted draw and attempted to use aggression to coerce his opponents into folding somewhat marginal holdings in massive pots. Both times, however, his efforts were unsuccessful and quite costly.
The remaining four players have been sent on a 10-minute break. They will return to blinds of 5,000,000/10,000,000 with a 10,000,000 big blind ante.
Patrick Liang and Shant Marashlian are each $1,000,000 richer after they pulled the two top prizes in the $1,000 Mystery Millions event at the 2023 World Series of Poker.
This is the second year that the WSOP has held a Mystery Bounty tournament with a $1,000,000 top prize. This year's edition drew 18,188 entries for a prize pool of $4,587,950. Matt Glantz was the big winner in 2022.

Steven Thompson moved all in for 58,000,000 in the small blind with A♠8♣ and was called by Guang Chen in the big blind holding K♠10♣.
Steven Thompson: A♠8♣
Guang Chen: K♠10♣
Thompson, though at risk, was marginally ahead but fell well behind following the 4♠K♦Q♥ flop. The 9♥ turn left Thompson needing to find an ace on the river to survive and that is exactly what happened after the A♦ hit the felt to complete the board and send the Costa Rican's rail into a frenzy of celebration.
