Well, That Was Awkward

Shane Pacheco just called a short-stacked player's all in with A-Q. His opponent held A-K.

The flop came 10-J-8. The turn was a four, and Pacheco was still behind. But a king came on the river, giving Pacheco the Broadway straight.

His opponent, not realizing the king had in fact taken the hand away from him, turned to Pacheco, shook his hand, and said "Sorry" before sitting back down. Whoops. He soon was back up and heading over to the payout desk.

Pacheco is up to 170,000.
