Intriguing Situation & Ruling

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

There was a lot of commotion at one table and we arrived to see two players all in on a board of {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

The at-risk player held the {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} but was behind the flopped set of {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

This is when things got very interesting.

The dealer had attempted to put out the river but in the motion of doing so, he had flicked the card facedown into the muck.

The table was stunned and didn’t know what was going to happen.

A supervisor was called over by one of the tournament directors and she seemed confused with the situation. A phone call was made and a few minutes later the decision was made that the hand would be void.

The chips that had been put into the middle from each player were distributed back to them.

As you can imagine, the player who held the pocket fives was not excited about this decision.

This is certainly one of the most intriguing situations, and rulings, we have ever witnessed.
