Niveau 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Joseph Altomonte opened to 1,000,000 from early position and called when Alfred Atamian moved all-in to his left for around 3,200,000 chips.

Alfred Atamian: A♠K♥K♦8♣
Joseph Altomonte: A♦Q♠J♦6♠

Atamian's pair of kings was in front, but the 7♠Q♦9♦ flop gave Altomonte plenty of outs. The 7♦ turn completed Altomonte's flush, while the 9♣ river changed nothing to send Atamian to the rail in 12th place.

A three-way pot was down to two once Joseph Altomonte bet 1,200,000 after the A♣Q♣Q♦ flop. Jonathan Dimmig then moved all in, with Altomonte making the call and the cards turned up.

Jonathan Dimmig: Q♥6♥2♣2♥
Joseph Altomonte: K♠K♥Q♠8♦

Both players had trips, but Altomonte's kicker left him in the lead. The 7♣ turn and 3♥ river changed nothing, as Dimmig was eliminated in 10th place.

The Two Failed Bluffs in One Week that Cost Doug Polk $700k

[user207516]

Niveau 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

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.
