Six Thousand is the Bet
We pick up the action on the river, with Michael Guzzardi involved in a pot. There are 24,000 chips already in the middle, and the board reads
.Action is on Guzzardi, and he says, "Six thousand," as he throws a random sprinkling of chips out in front of him, amounting to just 3,500. His opponent puts in 3,500 to match it, before realizing that the bet is actually 6,000. The dealer acknowledges that Guzzardi announced six thousand, and the floor is called over. After hearing both sides, the ruling is that the player must leave his 3,500 chips in the pot, and has the option to call the remaining 2,500 or fold.
