Action picked up on the river in a heads-up pot between Mike Estes and Mo Nuwwarah. The full board showed and nearly 200,000 was in the middle.
Estes led for 125,000. In position, Mo Nuwwarah slid out 300,000 into the middle and the dealer announced, "Raise." Estes thought the chips were just a call and immediately turned over his . Seeing Estes turn over his hand caused Nuwwarah to turn over his own for the better flush.
Given that Estes had never called the raise, he was given the option to fold his hand, and he did fold. He was given a penalty for exposing his hand early, but holds on to a few big blinds in hopes of finding the money.
