Blieden Runs a Big-Time Bluff on Winter
Sean Winter opened under the gun with a raise to 11,000. Koray Aldemir called in the hijack before Dennis Blieden three-bet to 39,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Winter who called. Aldemir called as well creating three-way action.
The flop was 
and Winter and Aldemir both checked to Blieden who continued for 36,000. Winter called and Aldemir got out of the way.
The turn was the 
and Winter checked again. Blieden made it 91,000 this time. Winter tanked for a bit, then called.
On the 
river, Winter checked for a third time. Blieden tanked and used a time extension before making it 213,000. Winter thought for about 15 seconds before letting go.
Blieden then showed his 
for a stone bluff.
"Holy shit," Winter said, throwing his hands behind his head. "Why didn't I just go with my read? Holy shit, I scare myself sometimes. Oh my god."
"I had to show it," Blieden said.
"No, nice hand," Winter said. "I just didn't have the heart. At least my read was right. I just thought maybe you hit that river."
Blieden raked in the massive pot becoming what is likely the chip leader in the tournament and let out a laugh at Winter's exasperation.
