A Salles Refresher
We just received some details about the manner in which Gualter Salles was crippled down to just 1,000 chips. It's turning into quite a story.
Robert Miller had bet 106,000 on the turn of a board, and Salles called off all but his last chip. Neither the dealer nor Miller realized Salles had a remainder after the call, and Miller tabled his with action pending, technically. Salles' had been run down, and the river did nothing to help his cause. The chip mistake was finally realized, and, in much the same manner as Jack "Treetop" Strauss in 1982, Salles was left with a chip and a chair.
He's worked that into a remarkable 225,000 since then.
