An interesting situation just arose over at Table 34 after preflop action left Micah Raskin (middle position) and Brian Davis (button) heads-up. Before the flop was dealt it was revealed that someone spotted one of Davis's cards during the deal — the 
— and Davis turned the card over to confirm that indeed that was correct.
The floor was called and since there had already been action the hand had to proceed with the card face up. The flop came 
, and before acting Raskin asked if he could turn over one of his cards, to make things fair.
"Card karma," cracked Michael Ryan as the table chuckled.

The turn brought the . "This is kind of weird dynamic, isn't it?" said Raskin as he checked. Davis bet 10,000 this time, and Raskin called. Both players then checked the turn.
Davis flipped over his other card — the 
— to show he'd made two pair, aces and eights. Then Raskin showed his hand — ! He'd also made aces and eights!
Raskin explained how he wanted to show his ace as the pair chopped the pot.
