Parra Wins with Ace-High in Confusing Pot
Level 5
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Nicolas Chouity opened the button to 18,000 and Nino Parra called in the big blind.
On the Q♦Q♣9♥ flop, Chouity continued for 16,000 and Parra called.
The turn was the 8♦. Parra decided to lead as he slid a green T-100,000 chip into the middle, saying "Six," with the intention to bet 60,000. However, it was ruled to be a minimum bet of 8,000, and Chouity called.
On the 3♣ river, Parra checked and Chouity, confused at the situation, reluctantly checked back. Parra revealed A♦5♦ for a missed flush draw, however his ace-high was good enough to drag the pot as Chouity mucked.
