History may be in the making in one of the most historic cities in the world. Doyle Brunson is in search of his record-tying 11th bracelet in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Europe Main Event and is sixth in chips with 92 players remaining.

Brunson holds a stack of 210,900 and is in pursuit of the £801,603 first place prize. “Texas Dolly” has 10 WSOP bracelets to his name, tied with Johnny Chan for second most all-time. He needs one more to move into the lead with 11, a record currently held by Ultimate Bet pro Phil Hellmuth. Brunson has been shut out since 2005, when he took down a $5,000 buy-in No Limit Hold’em Short-Handed event for $367,000, defeating a competitive final table that also included Minh Ly, Layne Flack, and Scotty Nguyen.

Brunson will captain Table 10 on Tuesday at the Casino at the Empire, where he’ll be joined by online poker players Justin “Boosted J” Smith and Christian Kruel. Smith is fresh off a third place effort in the Bellagio Cup, a stop on the World Poker Tour (WPT). He earned $464,000 at the Las Vegas casino back in July. Kruel can be found on the virtual felts of PokerStars under the screen name “C.K.” He won a $530 buy-in $80,000 Guaranteed High Roller tournament on PartyPoker in mid-August for $22,000.

People checked in and were given a poker chip to present to another staff member to receive a ballot. The voter checks in, receives a chip and walks through into an area where voters are waiting in line to receive their ballots. Meanwhile there were people walking into that area, through a side door.

Also in the Top 10 in London is Team PokerStars Pro member Jason Mercier. In May, he took down a tournament held during the Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) for $86,000 and then followed up that performance with a bracelet win in a $1,500 buy-in Pot Limit Omaha event during the 2009 WSOP. Mercier recorded four cashes overall during the WSOP and was quickly scooped up by PokerStars to join their pro team. He also competed in the star-studded field of the Ante Up for Africa charity poker tournament, which aired on ESPN. Mercier owns the 10th largest stack at 202,300.

Liz Lieu doubled her stack holding pocket aces on Monday in the WSOP Europe Main Event. Entering play on Day 3, she sits at 16th in the chip counts with 184,400. Meanwhile, November Nine member James Akenhead also remains in contention. Akenhead, a Brit on his home turf, sent Nick Bleeker packing after coming out on the winning end of a race holding pocket jacks against A-K. The board ran out 9-7-Q-Q-7, pushing Akenhead to 250,000 in chips. He ended the day with 178,000, which was good for 17th overall. Fellow November Nine member Antoine Saout, who held a Top 10 stack entering Day 2 play on Monday, fell back to 50th on the leaderboard with 90,100.

There have been many ridiculous and ambitious bluffs been made in the game of NL Holdem. Some people losing hundreds and thousands of dollars in equity the process. But it’s what keeps the game alive and entertaining to watch.

Bluffing will always be a key component of the game and the adrenaline rush is like no other. We’ve captured some of the worst bluffs from over the years.

1 - Viktor Blom v Ian Munns - EPT Event

This bluff came as a surprise to many with one of the best players in NL Holdem wagering his stack with bare nothing. Viktor Blom, otherwise known as ‘Isildur1’, is an online NL Holdem and PLO high stakes professional who has had multi million dollar swings online in the past. Isildur, who quickly earned $5 million in profit in a short space of time, is praised for his high variance plays and ultra aggressive style and this is exactly what he has given us here. Ian Munns on the other hand, is an ameteur player from England with only $6,000 in earnings and not much experience on the felt. Unfortunately for him, he did not cash this event. Munns has only one significant cash for sixth place in EPT Monte Carlo back in 2006 with no other cashes since.

2 - Dzmitry Urbanovich V Gilles Bernies - EPT Dublin

Ian Munns Poker Wife

One of the more controversial hands, this $5,300 EPT event highlight captures high stakes Polish pro Dzmitry Urbanovich and German amateur Gilles Bernies face off in a heads up match. Dzmitry, with near $6 million in earnings ,and in the top 250 players in the world, went on to seal the win after winning this massive equity pot. Urbanovich is a partypoker pro who plays both online and live. He is ranked number one for the all time money list Poland. Across the table, Gilles Bernies has very little experience at the high stakes but still managed to cash for 2nd place in this EPT for a score of $393,000. Other than this, he only has one other live cash for $4000 in a 2015 WSOP event.

These are the final results for EPT 12 - Dublin:

3 - Vanessa Selbst v Prahlad Friedman PokerStars The Big Game

Ian Munns Poker Player

This bluff comes from the Big Game with all sorts of recognisable faces at the felt such as Barry Greenstein and Antonio Esfandiari. The action kicks off between Vanessa Selbst and Prahlad Friedman. Both players each have million dollar scores. Selbst, a Yale graduate and investment worker, ranks 67th on the all time money list with over $11 million in live tournament earnings. Friedman, on the other hand, is an American rapper and poker player with one bracelet under his belt. Friedman has over $2.5 million in earnings and ranks 670th on the all time money list. This play is a good example of exploitative poker and show that there is more than one way to play a hand. Unfortunately for Selbst though, this one did not work out for her.
