Daniel Poluk during the 2025 Battle of Malta.

Daniel Poluk opened to 5,500 from UTG. Mike Tyson called from the Lo-jack, and the two of them headed to the flop.

On 6♣4♠J♠, Poluk continued for 3,500, and Tyson called. Both players checked the K♥ turn and on the river T♣, Poluk check-called a 13,000 bet from Tyson.

Tyson must have been bluffing, as he folded his hand without showing. Hence, the pot was awarded to Poluk, who wasn’t forced to table the winning hand.

Mike Tyson: 290,000
Daniel Poluk: 190,000
