Tension Building?

John Phan, thinking he was in the big blind to start the hand, put 6,000 chips in front of him. As soon as he realized his error, and before there was any action, he tried to pull them back. Gioi Luong immediately asked the dealer to call the floor.

"You trying to shoot an angle?" Phan asked.

The dealer explained the situation to the floor. The other three players -- Ben Ponzio, Robert Mizrachi, and Shun Uchida -- all agreed that they felt Phan had put his chips in the pot in error and realized his mistake before there was any action. The floor allowed Phan to take the chips back, and then have the action proceed from him.

"I thought we were playing Gentlemen's Rules," Phan said to Luong, his words dripping with indignation. "Nice try to shoot an angle though. You take a shot, that's really good."

Luong muttered a few remarks of his own, but they were inaudible.
