, Paul Phua bet out 50,000 only to have Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi raise to 105,000. Phua went to make the call, but he accidentally put out too many chips, which constituted a min-raise to 160,000. Miazrachi tried to take advantage by four-betting to 305,000, but Phua paid to see the

Both players opted to slow down with a check, and Phua did the same on the

The Grinder didn't seem too enthused and released his hand after a thinking it over for about 20 seconds.
