The Croc Takes a Bite

With the board showing {5-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, a player bet, Billy "The Croc" Argyros raised, his opponent three-bet, and Argyros called. There was a bit of confusion regarding the betting and sequence, but all was worked out by the time the dealer burned one and dealt the river, the {6-Clubs}.

The early position player bet, and Argyros said "call," yet tossed out 1,600 -- which would consitute a raise. A raise it was, his opponent called, and Argyros turned over {A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for trip fours. His opponent mucked. Afterwards, Argyros explained the confusion on the turn had led to his mistake on the river, though all worked out well for the Croc.

Argyros now has 14,000.
