Ambassador Blain Averts Diplomatic Incident

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

PokerStars player Paul De Kort opened the betting for 450 and was three bet by Szabolcs Mayer in the big blind to 1,250. De Kort called. They saw a flop of {2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Mayer continued for 2,500 and De Kort called. The turn was the {6-Clubs}. Mayer checked and De Kort said “Three thousand nine hundred.” and threw out a blue T5000 chip. There was a few moments confusion as Mayer tried to call for 2,900 but Full Tilt Ambassador Dermot Blain helped confirm he had heard 3,900. Mayer made the call. The final card was the {5-Diamonds}. Mayer checked and De Kort looked like he was considering a bet but thought better of it. He was right as Mayer turned over {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and won the pot.
