"That Was Probably the Weirdest Hand I've Ever Played"

mnuwwarah

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The floor was called to the final table and it seemed an odd situation had developed. Brett Apter hadn't acted, though he had 20,000 in front of him under the gun, and action had folded to big blind Steve Buell. The 20,000 was the big blind ante, though, and Apter had been thinking he was big blind. The supervisor ruled Apter could call or fold but do nothing aggressive. Apter opted to call and Buell checked.

Buell bet 30,000 on the flop and 50,000 on the turn. Apter stuck around for the river and Buell bet 60,000. Apter made it 140,000 and Buell tank-folded.

"That was probably the weirdest hand I've ever played," Apter said.
