Mike Caro Eliminated

[user111541]

After a flop of {6-Clubs}

Mike Caro announced a bet of 26,000 from the small blind, but only tossed out 16,000.

Phil Hellmuth put out 35,000, thinking he was raising Caro. When the dealer informed Caro that he was short 9,000, a controversy arose whether or not Hellmuth should still be forced to raise. It took three floormen to make the ruling that it was just a call because Hellmuth put out less than 1.5 times the amount of the bet.

As the confusion cleared, the {6-Spades}

fell on the turn. Mike Caro moved all in for 40,000 and Hellmuth called.

Caro: {7-Clubs}
