On a flop of K ♣️ Q ♥️ 10 ♣️ , Tak Jeon bet 11,000 and Masaki Saito flat-called. The 8 ♣️ came on the turn and Jeon checked, Saito used a time bank and bet 18,000 to get called.

What followed was the Q ♣️ river which paired the board and brought the fourth club on the board. Jeon now led for 55,000 and Saito went deep into the tank. Upon using four time banks, Saito called and Jeon tabled the J ♠️ 8 ♥️ for a bluff, which Saito had beat holding the A ♣️ :Jd with the ace-high flush.

"Nice bluff," the player from Japan said.
