Judges Fines Rheem

Darren Judges of the United Kingdom may have been confused about the details of the hand after the fact, but he walked away with 13,000 of Chino Rheem's chips. Judges raised to 2,600 from under the gun, then called Rheem's late-position reraise to 7,700. He checked the {9-Hearts}

flop over to Rheem, who made it 5,500 to go. It took Judges a minute, but he did eventually ship 40,000 chips -- his whole stack -- into the middle. Rheem quickly surrendered.

"I'm guessing in the range of two kings," said Rheem.

"Nearly," Judges replied. "I was going to check-raise the flop."

"You did check-raise the flop."

"No, I check-raised the turn, didn't I?"

"We didn't see a turn, buddy," replied Rheem. The whole table laughed, but Judges got the last laugh -- his stack is now at 61,000.
