Broom Careless?
Amanda De Cesare limped from under the gun as the table folded around to James Broom on the button. He raised to 2,100 before the decision was back on De Cesare. She took a minute to decide, before calling.
The dealer, mistakenly thought that De Cesare had folded, and threw back Broom’s bet, and slid his cards into the muck. The roar erupted from the table, as everyone was quick to let the dealer know his blunder.
The floor was called over, and after a quick explanation from the dealer, the eventual ruling was that Broom’s cards weren’t protected, and therefore the pot was given to De Cesare.
Broom did seem a little distracted, probably because he was about to do a video for the PokerStars blog. He did smile it off though, not to worried about losing a few chips.
“Just being a gentleman. Giving the lady the win,” said Broom.
