Miscommunication at the Table Leads to Frustration for Eminoglu

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

There were roughly 70,000 chips in the pot on 99638.

Yucel Eminoglu bet 40,000 from the big blind and was quickly called by Xixiang Luo in the cutoff. Eminoglu attempted to communicate his holding to Luo, but Luo, wearing headphones, didn’t hear him. Frustrated, Eminoglu tossed his A2 onto the felt, while Luo revealed 95.

Eminoglu, visibly annoyed, asked, “Why did you make me show? I told you what I had.”

Luo calmly removed his headphones and replied, “I had headphones on, how was I supposed to hear you?”

Eminoglu shook his head in frustration.
