Lyle Berman had called from the button as did Michael Mizrachi who was in the big blind. The action was on Singer who announced a pot bet. Mizrachi immediately said the total bet was 11,800, and Singer threw out the chips. Fitoussi tanked for a bit before calling after which Berman and Mizrachi folded.
The flop came down
