Stephen Chidwick came in raising to 5,500, and Jose Gonzalez three-bet to 15,000, leaving himself about 25,000 behind. When it came back to Chidwick, he stacked together a covering tower of orange and blue chips and slid them forward. Gonzalez threw the rest of the chips into the middle, and the cards were on their backs:
Chidwick:
Gonzalez:
The board ran out sour for Gonzalez, coming
. Pretty standard so far. Except Gonzalez didn't want to leave. He began a relatively tame argument with the dealer and with Chidwick, saying that Chidwick hadn't set him all in. Despite the fact that all of the chips were pulled into the center of the table and the cards showed Gonzalez had gone broke, he vehemently denied that he was out of chips on basically no grounds whatsoever. It was hard for us to gather any more details from the machine-gun Spanish he was spurting, but he was clearly looking for an excuse to get a few chips back.Finally, someone called the floor over, and the matter was settled quickly. The floor man explained to Gonzalez that the chips and the cards told the story, and Gonzalez was covered and therefore eliminated. Despite the ruling, Jose sat in his chair for several more minutes before finally heading off to the rail.
Strange.
Chidwick's back up to 165,000 after that knockout.
