Senovio Ramirez Forfeits a Pot to Kenny Tran
Kenny Tran raises to 30,000, and Senovio Ramirez calls from one of the blinds. The flop comes (Ad)(Ah)(6h), Ramirez checks, Tran bets 40,000, and Ramirez folds. The turn card is the (Kd), and both players check. The river card is the(Qd) , Ramirez bets 67,000, and Tran calls.

This is where it gets interesting.

As soon as Tran calls, Ramirez says, "You win." Tran tosses his cards and waits for the pot, but notices that Ramirez is still holding his cards. Tran quickly grabs his cards back, waiting.

Ramirez does nothing, and the dealer tells him that if he truly forfeits the pot, he needs to muck his cards before she can push it to Tran. Tran says, "You'd better muck your cards." Ramirez postures for a bit, but eventually mucks his cards. The pot is pushed to Tran, who then, and only then, mucks his cards.


This works better if you have many chips and look like you can beat the guy to pulp later.
