Sami Rustom raised to 32,000 from early position, Sylvain Loosli three-bet to 122,000 on his direct left, and the action folded back to Rustom, who called.
The flop fell 
, Rustom checked, and Loosli continued for 125,000. Rustom check-raised to 300,000, and after tanking for a minute or so, Loosli called.
The turn brought the 
, Rustom checked, and Loosli returned to the tank. He reached for chips, cut out 70,000 in orange T5,000 chips, pulled out a full stack of orange (100,000), and grabbed a few green T25,000 chips. He then slid forward three different stacks one at time, first pushing forward 70,000 then adding the full stack of orange and the green.
Rustom asked for a count, the dealer told him 280,000, and then Rustom told the dealer that it was a string bet. The dealer called a floor person over, who after hearing the dealer recount the tale, ruled that it was indeed a string bet.
Loosli pulled back the green chips, and a few oranges that were on top of the green chips, and left out 170,000. Rustom protested, but the dealer, Olaoluwa Okelola, and Kevin Williams all said that the original movement included the full stack of orange chips. The floor person ruled that the full stack would stay.
Rustom tanked for a bit, then finally folded his hand, prompting Loosli to throw up his hands in disgust. He said something to Rustom that Rustom couldn't hear, and when he asked Loosli to repeat it, he refused.
