Berry Quiet Call

[user66118]

Over on one of the far tables, we just had a bit of controversy. After the community cards were out, the board read {A-Spades}

. Sam Youssef and Barry Long had made it to this stage heads up.

Youssef moved all in, having his man covered, and that's when the drama started. Long apparently said, "I call," and opened up his cards, revealing {A-?}

. The dealer pulled Long's cards into the muck though, and the hand appeared to be over. Youssef showed {10-Hearts}

for complete air and the dealer awarded him the pot.

Long immediately objected, saying that he had clearly called the bet. Neither the players at the table nor the dealer heard his declaration, but he insisted. The floor was called over for a ruling.

Long contested that he had explicitly made the call. "Why would I turn over my hand if I didn't call?!" he argued. After hearing both sides of the story, the decision was made to award the pot to Long.
