All Change for Boeken

Noah Boeken (button) and one other player (big blind) saw a {6-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {2-Hearts} flop which Mr. Big Blind checked. Boeken bet 600, which his opponent swiftly called.

The turn was the {K-Diamonds} and again Mr. Big Blind checked. Boeken announced, "Thirteen," and pushed an orange 25,000-denomination chip across the line. "Thirteen thousand," announced the dealer impassively and Boeken's eyes opened wide. "Thirteen hundred," he said quickly, and once the dealer had been corrected, that was where the bet stood. His opponent called, and there was a lengthy pause while another player at the table counted out change for a 25,000 chip with all the speed and precision of a small child learning numbers for the first time. Eventually they proceeded.

The river was the {10-Spades} and Mr. Big Blind checked for a third time. This time Boeken checked behind and turned over {8-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} for a pair of eights. His opponent turned over {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} for a straight that he had presumably been hoping that Boeken would bet into on the river.

Boeken dipped to 24,500 - but on the plus side, now that he's changed up the 25,000 chip, it looks like a lot more.
