With a board showing {6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, Christoph Köhnen checked, Paul Kim bet 45,000, and Köhnen check-raised all in for about 200,000 more.

Kim stood up from his chair, still unsure what to do. Köhnen, mistakenly thinking from Kim's standing that he was calling, flipped his hand over. Realizing his mistake, players on either side of Köhnen quickly moved to cover his cards. Köhnen turned them back over.

"Nice hand, sir," said Kim. "I saw it." He folded. "You were on a draw," he added. "I hit the flop."

Köhnen now has 270,000 chips. And perhaps some added appreciation for his neighbors.
