Aaron Kanter - event #36
Aaron Kanter - event #36
A player in middle position tossed out three blue chips signifying a raise to 1,500. After he did so, Aaron Kanter reraised to 6,000 and the player said that he threw out the wrong color chips first. "Oh, that's the wrong color. I thought I grabbed the other blue chips," said the player who had made it 1,500. The light blue chips in play are worth 500 and the black chips with a blue outline are worth 100.

The floor stopped over and made the raise stand. Then, the player announced that he was all in for 21,000. Kanter made the call.

Kanter held {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}. His opponent held {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}. The board ran out {K-Spades} {7-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {7-Spades}, giving Kanter a pair of kings and the best of it. His opponent is now out of the tournament and Kanter is up to 112,000.
