How Much?????

Magnus Persson has just doubled up in comedy circumstances.

On a flop of {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Spades} he goes all in for 15,000.

His opponent, one of the Betfair qualifiers, says, "Call." When the dealer asks him for 15,000 chips he looks confused.

"I thought you said 1,500."

We get a ruling and of course it stands, he dejectedly turns over:

{J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

Against Persson's {K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The hand holds and the Betfair player washes his ears out.

And I run off to stop myself from laughing out loud.
