William Prieto Victimized by Chip Color Confusion
Nível 17
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Holding in the big blind, William Prieto watched the small blind limp in, and decided that the time had come to move his opponent off of the hand. He made it 17,000 to go, moving two orange 5000T chips and seven yellow 1000T chips into the middle.
The dealer mistakenly announced a raise of 9,000, however, apparently thinking all nine of the chips were yellow. With his raise now neutered by the erroneous announcement, Prieto watched helplessly as his opponent called. The resulting action escaped our notice, but an understandably miffed Prieto was soon exiting the tournament area, steaming over the situation.
