Speaking of that, am I the only one not as impressed with Wasicka's "sick" bluff? I mean it's a good bluff, but it would have been amazing to me if it got Allen to fold an Ace. The board was AAJ9 with three hearts, and Allen just had TT with the Th. There isn't a whole lot Allen can beat there BUT a bluff.

I'm not a Moneymaker fan, nor do I think his was the "bluff of the century," but at least that one got Sammy to lay down top pair on a rainbow board. Allen had to fear a flush, an ace, and a jack.

I applaud Wasicka's read that Allen was weak, but those are what every good pro bluff is about. The only thing exceptional about this was were the stakes. As a poker play, I think it's not amazing.

Actually, I didn't think Moneymaker's bluff was too great either. Yeah, forced Sammy off of his hand. So, I guess it worked. But still...you could feel how scared he was.

And this one wasn't great as well. His voice was very low and it sounded like it crackled when he said all in. Sounds nervous to me. Don't know if I could call it with Allen's hand, but I'd still have a suspicion he was bluffing or at minimum semi-bluffing.
