Talk Talk Talk (WPT tonight) Spoiler Alert

[Kurn]

Kido Pham likes to talk at the table. Tonight he may have talked himself out of some cash. (he's still in as I type this)

He's just doubled up after an amateur opponent makes a bad call with a flush draw.

He raises with K 7 . Amateur shoves with A Q . Huge overbet. Kido's getting about 7:5 on the call.

he starts talking. The gist is "you tell me what you want me to do. Fold, call, whatever. You decide." So far no problem. Amateur is silent. Kido gets frustrated. Talks and talks. Now he gets frustrated and says this.

"You still get to decide, I give you three seconds then I decide. Three two one now I call." Amateur starts to move to flip- up his cards and Kido says something like, "No, I haven't called yet, I mean now *I* decide." Daniel N says, "Uh, you said 'I call'"

Tournament director is called. makes the correct decision and deems Kido's
statement a call. AQ holds up.

Gotta watch what you say.

After listening to the video it is VERY clear IMO, that Pham was saying that he (his opponent) lost his chance to call it (call what he does) and now he (Pham) is going to call it himself , and he did not mean I call the bet. I think this is very clear and while it may be considered a call via technicality, I dont agree with the decision
