Calderaro showed Qd9d for a queen-high bluff, but Allen turned over AhJc to win the pot with a pair of jacks.

A short while later, Calderaro got it all in from the big blind with 5x5x against another player’s AxKx.

The board came Ax8x8x5x3x — Calderaro’s opponent paired his ace on the flop, but Calderaro spiked a five on the turn to win the pot with a full house and double up in chips.
