We were describing Alberto Fonseca bluffing Sammy Farha earlier... and noting afterwards that he never bluffed.
We just happened on another river bet by Fonseca. He'd pushed a nearly pot-sized bet of 15,000 before him with the board showing , and Daniel Alaei tanked for a while before calling.
"I have the nuts," said Fonseca, tabling , and Alaei shook his head and mucked.
