Connor Richards

Level 9 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The floor was called to Table 1 to address confusion during the final hand before the break between Patrik Antonius and Tom Orpaz.

As Antonius told the floor, he bet 2,500 on the flop of and Orpaz threw out two 5,000 chips, which the floor ruled was a raise to 10,000. Orpaz argued that he threw out the chips one at a time and had meant to call. The floor determined that Orpaz had made a singular motion and therefore it would be a raise.

"Whatever, it's a raise. I meant to raise, anyway," he joked.

Antonius then reraised to 22,000 and Orpaz called before checking dark. The turn brought the and Antonius pushed all in, prompting a snap-fold from Orpaz.

It might have been a bluff from Antonius as he showed the , but Orpaz had already turned away from the table.
