Deveau Versus Zarate: Round Two
Round One between Daniel Deveau and Ivan Zarate occurred during Level 7 when Deveau hit a set of aces on the river to get there against Zarate's set of kings. Several hours later, Zarate has chipped back up and the two decided to conduct a smaller, yet still meaningful second dance.
Deveau opened from the hijack to 4,300 and Zarate defended his big blind. The flop was 
and Zarate check-called Deveau's continuation-bet of 5,400.
"Fighting!" said a player at the table with a chuckle.
"Fighting! Round Two!" added Zarate with a jovial laugh.
The turn came 
and Zarate check-called another barrel of 8,000 from Deveau. The river then fell 
and Zarate fired 28,500 into the pot.
Deveau remarked in a suspicious manner about whether or not Zarate was bluffing. Eventually, he folded, asking Zarate if he had eight high.
"Close," Zarate said, lifting up his cards. Both cards were stacked one on top of the other so that only his 
was visible.
"And...?" Deveau begged. Zarate mucked. "C'mon!" Deveau joked.
"I might have been bluffing you with the best hand," Zarate said, smiling.
"You probably were," said Deveau.
