Speiser Climbing

Picking up the action on the turn, a player checked in early position without any media card in sight. Hannes Speiser then tossed in two T-5,000 chips and announced a bet of 6,500. The other player first called, but just put in 6,000 chips. The dealer reminded him that it was 500 more and Speiser joked "I guess you won't fold for the extra 500".

The opponent indeed called and then checked again the river. Speiser sighed and said "I guess you win," before checking behind and showing . The Austrian was however awarded the pot as his opponent mucked to move up further in the counts.
