1,500 or 15,000?

No-Limit Hold'em:

Steve Zolotow raised from under the gun to 2,100. In the next seat was Ralph Perry and he made the call. Freddy Deeb was in the cutoff seat and reraised to 12,100 before Tim Phan was up on the button. Phan made the call and then the blinds, Zolotow and Perry all folded.

The flop came down a monotone {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Deeb fired 13,000 and Phan made the call.

The turn card brought the {5-Clubs} and made the flush possibilities more prevalent. Deeb announced a bet of 15,000, but only tossed out one T5,000 chip. One of the players at the table called for a floor ruling stating that it wasn't clear if the bet was for 1,500 and not 15,000. The ruling was made that the bet was for 15,000 and then Phan made the call.

The river completed the board with the {7-Diamonds} and both players quickly tapped the table, opting to not stick any more chips in the pot. Deeb announced that he had nines before Phan tabled the {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} for a pair of aces and held the best hand. Deeb never actually revealed his holecards.
