Stephen Friedrich raised from under the gun to 800, and only John Hennigan made the call, a couple of seats to his left.

The hand then played out in a style akin to speed chess.

Friedrich continued with a bet of 1,200, which Hennigan quickly raised to 3,000. Friedrich called immediately, and the two took a turn.

As quick as a flash, Friedrich had check-called a bet of 3,700 on the 2 turn, before both players then checked the 8 river.

Friedrich turned over JJ, which was enough to lay claim to the pot as Hennigan mucked his cards.

Shmuel Bluff Gets Soul Read

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

On a board reading J54 Kfir Shmuel checked his action over to Shawn Moore, who bet out for 4,500. Shmuel made the call, which brought in the 6 turn. Action checked through on this street, leading the dealer to put out the K on the river.

Not having enough chips to size his bet properly, Shmuel placed in a single green 25,000 denomination chip, announcing "nine thousand." Moore was sent deep into the tank. After a few minutes, he looked Shmuel up and down before making the call. Shmuel, embarrassed, took a moment before flipping over 99 for just one pair. Moore revealed that he had made an incredible call; with four diamonds on board, he held no flush, and just second pair with QQ.
