According to the 2006 WSOP winner, Jamie Gold, he wants to be known as the top bluffer in the game of Texas Holdem’. But if his last Texas Holdem tournament is any sign, his wish may not come true any time soon.

The location is the 2007 Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic held at the Vegas Bellagio Hotel in 2007. Featuring $50 - $100 blinds and a $15,000 buy-in, Darrell Dicken is hanging on in the tournament for dear life. The seat 4 player has just raised his bet to $300, a minor increase with only one player taking the bait. “I put him as being weak,” Jamie said, “I was thinking about raising, but instead I just called with a 10-3 of hearts to see what would happen.”

Jamie was thinking that Brad Booth would make a move, which he did. He re-raised to $1600 from the big blind. Gold thought that Booth had a decent hand, but he was in a great position to make a move taking into account the amount of dead money in the pot. Dicken folded, and the unknown in Seat 4 called Booth’s raise.

At this point there was more than $4000 in the pot, so Jamie wagered another $4000. His thought was, only if someone else had aces or kings there would be no chance they would make that call. Jamie’s plan was to make a substantial move on the flop, as long as no ace was dealt. The second part of his plan was to get Booth to fold, which he did. Booth folded with pocket queens.

On the flop there was an ace of ace-6-5, two clubs. The player in seat 4 checked and Jamie bet $2000. Jamie’s primary thought was to make him think that he had clubs. Seat 4 threw out a $10,000 chip, but didn’t say anything thus changing his raise into a call. Jamie’s thought was that seat 4 in all likelihood had an ace, but you have to look after it in case he hits his set on the following poker card.

A 2 of hearts came out on the turn, and Jamie quickly folded to what he was thinking was a top pair kicker. Seat 4 showed a king-jack off suit. Seat 4 outplayed Gold by bluffing with a higher hand, he made a terrific poker play and took the bluff all the way through to the finish.
