And that's when the talking started. Kassouf reiterated that he wanted Matuson to call, that he'd show if Matuson folded and that he'd keep it friendly. The floor was called and eventually the clock was called.
The seconds were counted down before Matuson open-folded pocket queens.
'You want to see it?' asked Kassouf. 'Sick bluff. Turned the double-gutter and missed. Never mind. Nine-high like a boss.'
The Semi Bluff
Action was five-handed at the 2019 WSOP Main Event final table when chip leader Hossein Ensan got involved with a pot against Garry Gates, who was second in chips.
Gates raised to 3.5 million on the button with . Ensan defended his big blind with . The flop came and Ensan checked. Gates continued for 2.3 million.

The Heads Up Bluff
A year earlier, at the 2018 WSOP Main Event, a mammoth ten-hour heads-up battle between John Cynn and Tony Miles culminated in Cynn winning $8.8m and the WSOP Main Event bracelet.
The pair had several huge spots together including this one that came with Cynn holding a more than 2:1 lead over Miles.
The pair saw a flop and Miles checked. Cynn bet 4.5m into a pot of 10.6m having flopped middle pair. Miles called. The turn was the and Miles check-raised Cynn's bet of 6.5 million to 20 million.
Cynn eventually called, with Miles shoving the river. Cynn went into the tank.
'Alright,' said Cynn. 'I think if you're sick enough to pull this bluff off, I think I just have to let you have it. I don't have a very good hand at all.' Cynn folded and Miles took down the pot.

The One Drop Bluff
Not all bluffs occur in the Main Event, naturally, so we thought we'd shine the spotlight on another notable bluff in the $1,000,000 WSOP Big One for One Drop that occurred back in 2014.
At the final table, Scott Seiver raised to 1.2 million and Tobias Reinkemeier defended his big blind with .
The flop was and Reinkemeier check-called 1.5 million. The turn was the and Reinkemeier checked again. Seiver moved all in for 6.8 million into a pot of just 6.2 million.
Reinkemeier asked for a count and went deep into the tank. 'Scott I was trapping,' Reinkemeier said before the two had a short back-and-forth.
'I wouldn't normally fold this,' said Reinkemeier before the clock was called on him. The decision had taken over ten minutes before he eventually folded.
'No chance that's aces, that would be impossible,' said Seiver before the dealer turned them over. 'How can you do that!' He showed his king-ten.

It’s a new year, although poker tournament organizers continue to confront the same challenges they faced during most of 2020.
As a means to meet those challenges, the World Series of Poker this week announced a new WSOP Online Circuit Series that will last throughout 2021.
Patterned after the live WSOP Circuit of past years, the online series will feature monthly 12- or 18-tournament series in which winners will receive WSOP-C gold rings.
The 2021 WSOP Online Circuit will culminate with the $250,000 WSOP Online Circuit Championship in December, which will award a WSOP gold bracelet to the winner.
Monthly online series similar in format to earlier live WSOP-C stops
A press release on Wednesday from the WSOP noted how “live poker remains a challenge due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” thus prompting the decision to create an expanded online series.
During 2020, the WSOP was able to stage a handful of live tournament series early in the year, including one in February at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. However, from mid-March onward, all live WSOP-C events were cancelled and replaced by several online series on WSOP.com.
For the 2021 WSOP Online Circuit Series, tournaments will only be open to those playing on the WSOP Nevada and WSOP New Jersey sites.
There will be 12 WSOP-C tournament series in 2021, one per month. In most cases, the series schedule will contain 12 tournaments, similar to the schedule used in the past at live WSOP-C series stops. Roughly once per quarter will come an expanded “Super Circuit” series with 18 tournaments.
The Super Circuit series will include both $1,000 and $2,000high roller events and a $500 pot-limit Omaha event.
Extra tournament in the cards?
The announcement notes that a 13th tournament series might be added to the schedule at a later date “pending launch of the WSOP.com service in a newly regulated market.”
WSOP.com received regulatory approval to launch in Pennsylvania last year, and has indicated the new site will go live in 2021. There has been no announcement regarding whether or not the new WSOP PA player pool might be shared with those at other WSOP sites as part of a multi-state agreement, either initially or in the future.
As noted, winners of each tournament will receive a WSOP Circuit ring along with first-place prize money. In addition, the WSOP will be adding over $600,000 in prize money over the course of the year via “a variety of promotions and events.”
Casino branding, leaderboard and freerolls with added prize money
For the first time, some of the online tournament series will be “co-branded” via partnerships with various retail casinos.
Planet Hollywood, Bally’s, Paris Las Vegas and Harrah’s Las Vegas are among the Nevada properties that will be represented. Such tournaments will feature “‘cash at the cage’ buy-in and cash out availability while offering its out-of-market players special promotional rates to stay onsite” while they play.
There will be a 2021 WSOP Circuit Series Leaderboard as well, with all players who cash in events receiving points for their finishes.

The points will enable players to become eligible for freeroll events. They also will help players win their way into the year-ending $250,000 WSOP Online Circuit Championship (discussed below).
Also, the top 10 players each month will divide $10,000 worth of tournament tickets. Those 10 players will also win seats to play in that month’s $25,000 Monthly Freeroll where only that month’s event winners and top 10 points-getters will participate.
The $25,000 Monthly Freerolls are scheduled for the following dates:
- Feb. 2
- Mar. 2
- Apr. 1
- Apr. 29
- May 27
- Jun. 29
- Jul. 29

- Oct. 28
- Nov. 23
- Dec. 21
Players who play in a minimum number of tournaments each series who have not otherwise won their way into the Championship will be able to play another freeroll event, the Monthly Second Chance Fast Forward. That will be a winner-take-all tournament with first-prize being a seat in the Championship.
WSOP bracelet awaits $250K Championship winner
