Hunichen Tries to Get a Discount

Hengtao Zhu A♣K♦ opened to 800,000 from the button and Chris Hunichen 7♦6♠ called from the big blind.

Hunichen check-called bets of 600,000 on the flop and 2,500,000 on the turn, bringing the final board to K♠4♠7♥5♥9♦.

Zhu held the best hand with a pair of aces and said, "Five... million," as he grabbed ten T-500,000 chips.

"What did he say?" Hunichen asked the dealer.

"Five million," the dealer replied.

"He said five," Hunichen said. "The rule is it has to be 500,000. That's the rule."

Tournament director Andy Tillman was called to the table, and the 5,000,000 bet was ruled to stand.

Hunichen chucked in a timebank, but ultimately returned his hand to the dealer.
