Tom Dwan and Peter headlined many of these, including one where Peter rivers a boat against Dwan and decides to fire out a huge value bet. Can Dwan make the right fold or will Peter milk him for thousands and thousands of dollars once more?
When you are looking for bluffs on the river you should use your hands that would block your opponent’s strongest holdings. A great example is when you have a counterfeited bottom two pair, you will be blocking a lot of the full houses that your opponent could have.

Preflop:
With the $2,000 straddle on, Peter limps under the gun with pocket sevens. Action Dan raises to $6,000 from the hijack with A8o. Tom Dwan calls from the button with 97 of hearts and Peter comes along with his walking sticks.
Flop – Kc 9s 7c:
Peter flops the jackpot with his pocket pair on the king-high connected board, as he has hit a set. He checks to the preflop raiser Action Dan, who makes a continuation bet of $12,000 with just one overcard, a backdoor straight draw, and a backdoor flush draw. Dwan doesn’t know it yet, but the flop is an absolute disaster for him, as he has hit bottom two pair with his suited one-gapper. He raises to $46,000, which Peter just calls. Dan folds, and they go to the turn heads-up.
Turn – Qh:
The queen of hearts on the turn brings in jack-ten for the nut straight. Peter checks again with bottom set. Dwan checks back with his vulnerable bottom two pair.
River – Kd:
The river brings a board-pairing king of diamonds, which improves Peter to a full house and counterfeits Dwan’s two pair. Peter fires out a bet of $70,000. Dwan only has a bluff catcher now, but will he be able to figure this hand out and fold or will he pay Peter off? Stay tuned until the end of this poker video to find out!
