Herring Forced to Fold

On a board of {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and the pot at around 2,000, Heath Herring was faced with a 1,650-chip bet from the cutoff.

Herring quickly splashed out six 500-denomination chips for a bet amounting to 3,000. The dealer, and a few of the players, quickly stated that the raise from Herring wasn't enough, and consequently he was bound to a 3,300-chip raise.

His opponent paused for a few moments before pushing in a stack of chips to put Herring all in. Herring cocked his head to the side in what could only be described as annoyance, before he eventually folded his hand while slipping to just 2,500 in chips.
