Big O

Five players went to the flop on a board of 5♦9♣Q♦ when Carlos Guerrero led out for 150,000 from the small blind. Only Zhen Cai in early position called.

The turn came the 6♠ and Guerrero now checked. Cai fired out 800,000 and Guerrero called.

The 3♣ fell on the river and Cai now pushed his entire stack forward, a bet of around 1,500,000. Shaun Deeb then noticed that Cai's bet on the turn was incorrect and the tournament floor was called over. It was ruled that it was accepted action, and the bet stood as Guerrero began tanking.

The other players at the table had already left on break before Guerrero finally decided to release his hand.
