Danny Wong Wins a Controversial Three-Way Pot

A strange hand led to the elimination of two players and Danny Wong's elevation to chip leader. Mustafa Ali raised to 20,000 under the gun and Jose Lopez tossed his cards in front of him. It was pointed out that he'd folded out of turn, so he retrieved his cards, and when it was his turn to act - he moved all in.

Which caused considerable consternation at the table. Ali wanted Lopez's hand declared dead (and several other players agreed) but the floor ruled that his hand was retrievable and he could act on it. There was some more discussion back and forth and finally it was ruled that Lopez was all in and action could resume.

It was at that point that Danny Wong announced he was all in, causing even more commotion. As reporters and spectators gathered close Ali stood up, sat down, stood up, and tried to decide what to do.

The clock was called and Ali ultimately chose to call, and saw that Wong indeed had a monster hand, {A-Clubs}
