The Mighty Quinn -- Or Not
Joe Fleming raised to 11,000 on the cutoff and Quinn called all in for last 4,300 from the button. Former big stack Maurice Harmon fancied his chances, and pushed from the small blind for a total of 16,700. Assuming a call, Quinn turned over his cards -- . It is true that Fleming was intending to call the 5,700 difference, and eventually did -- but not before the floor had been called over, and Quinn's hand was declared dead. "I'm sorry, it's the rules," said the TD. Various players and even the dealer appealed the decision, but it stood and Quinn's hand stayed dead.
As it turned out though, he would have lost to Harmon -- possibly scant compensation though for seeing a board without at least a chance of staying in.

A double up for Harmon, and a dejected exit for Quinn.
