Serda Pushes Out Opponent
A player raised to 1,500 from the hijack and Patrick Serda three-bet to 5,500 from the small blind. His opponent asked how much and as the dealer confirmed the number, Serda offered that he could trade the yellow (T$1,000) chip he had bet for an orange (T$5,000) chip in order to see the flop.
His opponent complied and the flop came 
. Serda continued for 7,000 and got a call. The turn was 
and both players checked.
On the river 
, Serda fired for 14,000. His opponent went into the tank, counting out a call and even going as far as picking the chips back up as if he were about to toss them into the pot. Without ever displaying any forward motion, however, he decided against committing any further chips and instead picked his cards up and tossed them to the center of the table, resulting in the dealer sending the pot Serda's way.
