Yes, It Happens Online Too
Right now I'm taking in the 2005 World Series of Poker on ESPN classic's "All Night Poker". Down to three tables when Greg Raymer got donked for nearly all of his stack by future final tablist Aaron Kanter. Tim Phan taking a horrendous beat on the river at the hands of Andrew Black, who would plow into the final table as its chip leader yet walk away without the championship bracelet.

But, it was all-universe player Phil Ivey that suffered a little hit to his bluffing abilities during the hand that mirrored a hand I played during the 28K Guarantee at Full Tilt last night. Pham's elimination hand started with his TT versus Black's AQs all-in pre-flop, and before the flop Ivey uttered "I folded TT".

Sure enough the flop comes A T 9, so barring a fouled deck; Ivey got caught with a little white lie and just never really made the run towards the one bracelet he still doesn't hold. I was playing for just a tad less then the millions sitting on a podium in Benny's bullpen as the pirate avatar claimed to be folding TT after my reraise of a short stack's all-in. For a moment when the shorty popped up JJ to my own TT, I was going to take the chance to grab another beer since I would be basically drawing dead. Instead, a ten popped out on the river as I was two steps from some tasty barley hops, and my lying opponent was left wondering if his bluffs would be believed.
