Poker Player Fires Five-High Bluff in $250K WSOP Event
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic attempts one of the boldest bluffs of the 2026 WSOP Super High Roller series.
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic attempted a five-high bluff in a $250,000 buy-in WSOP Super High Roller event, according to PokerNews (published June 13, 2026), risking his entire stack on one of the most aggressive plays seen at this year's series.
Why It Matters
At a $250,000 buy-in, a single failed bluff can represent more money than most players earn in a year — and Kaladjurdjevic committed it holding five-high, the near-bottom of all possible holdings. The play illustrates the extreme variance embedded in Super High Roller poker: even elite professionals routinely put six-figure sums at risk on single decisions. For recreational players watching the WSOP, moments like this serve as a sharp reminder that high-stakes poker carries catastrophic downside risk, regardless of skill level. Gambling involves real financial risk; buy-ins at this level are not recoverable through strategy alone.
Context
The WSOP Super High Roller series attracts the world's wealthiest and most technically skilled players, with buy-ins ranging from $50,000 to $250,000. As of June 2026, the WSOP is mid-series at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, running its full summer schedule. Five-high bluffs at final tables or deep-stacked play are not unheard of at this level, but staking a $250,000 entry on such a holding is rare even by Super High Roller standards.
What's Next
Results and full hand breakdowns from the $250,000 Super High Roller are expected to surface on PokerNews (full coverage here) as the event concludes. Kaladjurdjevic's tournament standing following the bluff will confirm whether the play proved fatal to his run.
