Macesovic Loses to Marmolejo Iglesia
Level 6
: 300/600, 600 ante
A rather strange hand unfolded on an outer table when the board showed 
.
Irena Macesovic bet 15,000 and Carlos Marmolejo Iglesia vaulted out of his chair to see her stack. He then grabbed into his own stack and pulled out two T-25,000 chips. No raise was announced and while he was about to place the chips, one dropped and the other fell right behind to make it a string-bet.
The floor was called and even though Marmolejo stated that his intention was a raise, it was ruled a call. Macesovic was first to show and tabled the 
while Marmolejo had 
for the full house. He apologized to Macesovic while Luigi Shehadeh and Carmen Zainescu on the same table were left with the heads shaking.
