Neal Stumbles into a Double

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

After an early limp and a middle-position limp, Chris Neal made it 5,050 to go, a raise to 101 big blinds (the T5,000 chips at this venue are close in color to T500). One player attempted to call from the blinds, not realizing the magnitude of the raise. The early limper called, while everyone else folded. A {3-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} flop hit the felt, and the early player announced she was all in.

"You know I didn't mean to do that, right?" Neal said. "I call."

Neal: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

The miscue had turned in Neal's favor, building a massive pot when he flopped a set. No ace appeared on the last two streets.
