The floor was called over to David Yoon's table when the board read 
with around 9,000 in the middle.
Yoon had 4 yellow 1,000-value chips in front of him and had apparently announced a bet of 35 thousand-hundred. He announced the bet and put in the chips at around the same time according to the dealer. Yoon explained he meant 3,500 and the floor ruled that that would be the bet indeed.
His opponent took a few seconds and then made the call but mucked when Yoon tabled 
for two pair.
"He meant 35,000!" a tablemate joked.
