Freeroll?

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

From middle position, Andrew Chen raised to 150. Action folded to the player in the hijack seat and he reraised to 625. Play got back to Chen and he moved all in for 3,550.

"How much is it?" asked the player.

"Thirty-five, fifty," responded the dealer.

"I call."

Chen: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The flop came down {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Chen's opponent said, "I'm freerolling," in a serious tone. We're unclear as to what he meant or if he was really just joking with the comment, because it was Chen who had the only diamond and a freeroll to win the hand.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and the river the {7-Spades}, causing the two players to chop up the pot.
