Zobian Raises River in Confusing Pot
Level 2
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Alec Torelli opened from under the gun and received calls from Aram Zobian on the button and Jiaming Zhao from the big blind.
On the 9♦8♣3♥ flop, the action checked to Zobian who bet 600 and only Zhao called.
The turn brought the 9♠. Zobian sized up to 2,700 but Zhao stuck around.
The 8♠ came on the river. Zhao opted to lead for 9,500, and Zobian responded with a raise to 22,200.
In a moment of confusion, Zhao tabled his 4♦3♠ as he was unaware that Zobian had raised. In good sportsmanship, Zobian asserted that Zhao was clearly going to fold and scooped the pot without showdown but he claimed he had a nine.
