A Salles Refresher

Gualter Salles during Day 4
Gualter Salles during Day 4

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 {9-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} 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 {8-Spades} {9-Hearts} with action pending, technically. Salles' {J-Clubs} {J-Spades} had been run down, and the {5-Diamonds} 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.
