"Seis Mil"

Knowing the value of your chips is important as Dennis Phillips learned in a recent hand. There was about 800 in the pot with a board reading {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs} when Phillips tossed two chips into the pot.

"Seis mil," the dealer announced, which translates to six thousand.

"Whoa," Phillips shouted, apparently not aware he had bet so much. "Can I take it back?" The dealer explained the bet would stand and Phillips seemed anguished. His opponent, who was clearly put off by such a large overbet, quickly mucked. Phillips flashed the {A-Hearts} and added, "I had two pair." Maybe it wasn't a mistake afterall.
