Big Pot for Tiny

[user46392]

Armando "Tiny" Ruiz and his opponent made it to the turn of a {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

board and Ruiz checked; his opponent bet two orange 1,000 chips and Ruiz raised to four orange 1,000 chips. Mr Opponent attempted to call, but actually put out five orange chips instead of just four.

This was interpreted as a raise to 6,000 and Mr Opponent was forced to throw in the extra chip. So Ruiz did the decent thing and four-bet. His opponent called, and then called another bet from Ruiz on the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

river.

Ruiz tabled {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

to scoop the whole lot; by inadvertently extracting maximum value from that hand, he's up to 72,000.
