The fifteenth season of High Stakes Poker once again shows why televised cash games enjoy such immense popularity. In a lineup featuring Sameh Elamawy and Andrew Robl, a moment unfolded that could be the bluff of the year — pure air, large sizings, and financial pressure that would break most players.
In a $200/$400 game with a triple straddle to $3,200, Elamawy kicked things off with 7 h 2 c – an open from the big blind to $12,000.

After the flop, Elamawy continued with a $75,000 bet, another $75,000 on the turn, and on the river, he went all-in for the remaining $104,000, executing a pure bluff with 7-high.
