Oleh Sushko was sat with a bet of 30,000 in front of him into a pot of 55,000 with the board reading 
.
His opponent looked like he had a huge decision on his hands, and eventually flung the chips into the middle to indicate a call.
"Good call," shouted someone from the other end of the table. Sushko turned over 
. "Oops," said the same voice.
Sushko's opponent flipped face up on the table and counted out the call. There then followed a discussion about the merits of Sushko's bet sizing on the river and how he perhaps should have bet smaller.
"I just want these," said Sushko, pointing at the chips he was raking in after winning that pot.
