According to the 2006 WSOP winner, Jamie Gold, he would be happy to be remembered as the greatest bluffer in the world. But if his last tournament is any clue, his wish may not come true any time soon.

The location is the 2007 Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic held at the Las Vegas Bellagio in 2007. Featuring $50 - $100 blinds and a $15,000 buy-in, Darrell Dicken is just barely holding on. The seat 4 player has just raised his bet to $300, a pretty small increase with only one player calling his play. “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 believed that Brad Booth would make some kind of move, which he did. He re-raised to $1600 from the big blind. Gold was thinking that Booth had a good hand, but he was in a superb position to make a move considering the amount of dead money in the pot. Dicken ended up folding, and the unknown in Seat 4 called Booth’s raise.

At this point there was over $4000 in the pot, so Jamie wagered another $4000. His thought was, only if someone else had aces or kings there would be no way they would make that call. Jamie’s strategy was to make a considerable move on the flop, as long as no ace showed up. The second part of his strategy 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 tossed out a $10,000 chip, but didn’t say anything thus changing his raise into a call. Jamie’s thought was that seat 4 most likely had an ace, but you have to protect it in case he hits his set on the upcoming card.

A 2 of hearts appeared 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 tricked Gold by bluffing with a higher hand, he made an impressive poker play and took the bluff to the end of the poker tournament.
