Hell of a Call

Action was picked up with Valeriano Toledano Moreno all-in for about 23,000 and waiting for Nick Phoenix to act on a completed board of 2♥6♠8♥9♦2♦ and a pot of about 20,000. Phoenix was taking his time looking at the board seemingly deep in thought.

He finally threw a chip in for a call which prompted Moreno to stand up, flip over his hand and leave immediately. Moreno turned over J♦10♦ for a complete bluff. As Moreno was leaving Phoenix seemed perplexed as he tabled 5♥5♣ unsure if he won the pot.

With Moreno gone, even the dealer was slightly confused looking at both hands and the board making sure that she shipped the chips towards the right direction.

David Forbes, who was also at the table, declared, "You won, he already left," talking to Phoenix, then under his breath, "Hell of a call."
