Vanessa Selbst raised on the button and John Burch called in the big blind.
Burch led out with bets on the 10♠10♦6♥ flop and 8♥ turn, and Selbst called to the Q♠ river. Burch then bet again, and Selbst called.
"Three sixes," Burch said, turning over 6♦3♦3♥2♣. The table then pointed out to him that he only had two pair. Selbst then showed A♠Q♣8♠4♥ for a rivered two pair to win the pot.
"I thought that was a six," Burch said, pointing to the eight on the turn. "I didn't mean to misrepresent my hand," he added.
"Don't muck your hand at this table. That's twice now," Tyler Phillips said.
