The latest edition of PokerGO’s No Gamble, No Future featured an interesting cast of players and plenty of gamble as one player made an all-in bluff on the river in an attempt to take down a significant chunk of chips.

The cash game featured blinds of $100-$100 with a $100 big blind and the action started with Japanese poker pro and vlogger Yuuki “Sashimi” Kaida raising to $300 with 8Diamond Suit 6Diamond Suit. Art Parmann called with 4Spade Suit 4Heart Suit, as did Justin Young with AClub Suit 3Diamond Suit and Joel Prelog with KSpade Suit JHeart Suit, bringing the pot to $1,400.

The four players then saw a flop of ADiamond Suit 6Club Suit 5Diamond Suit, giving Young top pair and Sashimi a flush draw along with middle pair. After Prelog checked, Sashimi bet $1,000 and Parmann sent his hand to the muck. Young made the call and Prelog also folded, with the pot now reaching $3,400.

According to the Card Player Poker Odds Calculator, Sashimi had a 52% chance to win the hand with her combo draw and Young had just over 48%.

The turn card was the 3Club Suit, giving Young two pair. This time Sashimi checked and Young bet $2,400. Sashimi thought a bit before check-raising to $7,000 with about $19,500 left behind. Young, on a stack of about $29,000, made the call.

Sashimi still had a 25% chance to take the pot, but would need another diamond or one of the remaining sixes in the deck. Instead, the 2Heart Suit fell on the river. Undeterred, she fired in a little over a pot-sized bet all in. It was enough to make even aces up consider folding.

“I’ve got a nice hand,” Young said as he stacked chips and weighed his options. “This game might get good if I’m wrong though.”

Young even flipped his ace to get a reaction from his opponent, but eventually put his chips in the pot and raked $56,400 – the biggest pot of the day.

Young is no stranger to streamed cash games and has also appeared on Poker After Dark. HighRollPoker.com, which tracks live-streamed cash game results, reports his net winnings at just over $600,000.

Sashimi has been a regular on streamed poker games through the years as well, including Hustler Casino Live, Live at the Bike, and Poker at the Lodge. Her net winnings sit at more than $189,000, but that total will dip a bit after this bluff gone wrong.
