Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Steve Topakas opened to a raise to 3,200, but threw out a yellow 5,000-denomination chip and two 100-denomination chips.
Carter Phillips - assuming it was a raise to 5,200 - made that call before the dealer deemed his chips in the pot to be a raise. Topakas pushed and Phillips made the call to put the local tournament regular at risk.
Topakas: 
Phillips: 
With Topakas in the lead, the 
flop was a safe one for him, but when the 
spiked on the turn, a now standing Topakas kicked his chair as the 
completed the board.
"Nice hand!" announced Topakas as he shook his head before making his way to the rail. Phillips is now up to 200,000 in chips.
