An Honest Mistake For a Million; Sincerely

Paul Sincere and Igor Zektser saw the J♠Q♥9♣ scroll across in a limped pot and they both checked.

The turn peeled the 3♣ and Zektser bet 500,000 but he put it on top of his blind. The dealer only pulls in the ante when heads up because it's a chopped pot game so both blinds stayed in front of the players. Zektser's was just a little closer to him than his opponent's.

So, when Zektser bet — Sincere thought that the wager was 1,000,000, so he flicked out two 500,000 chips which technically was a raise. Sincere was vocal about the mix up and visibly shaken up when his opponent raised again to 3,500,000.

Sincere went on to say he had flopped the second nuts before mucking his hand.

Not too long ago, Sincere had told Zektser, "Seems you have it 95% of the time..." .

Zektser spread out five cards that only showed ace high to after a visibly tilted Sincere mucked.
