The pot stood at 13,000 with just Alex Epstein and Roland Israelashvili looking at a full board that read J?K?7?8?J?.
Israelashvili, in early position, checked the action to Epstein on the button who put out a bet of 7,000. Israelashvili announced "It's never a bluff!" but proceed to pay the price to see Epstein's cards.
"Ten high" Epstein announced. Israelashvili tabled K?Q? to take down the pot.
The very next hand Israelashvili limped in from under the gun. In the cutoff, Epstein raised to 20,000 which forced Israelashvili to fold.
"It's never a bluff," Epstein laughed as he claimed the pot and mucked his cards.
