JJProdigy Crippled

Josh "JJProdigy" Field opened the pot with a 21,000 pre-flop bet from under-the-gun plus one, leaving himself with just 2,000 behind. Dag Martin Mikkelsen called from the small blind, as did David Bach in the big.

"I'm folding if I don't hit," Field said.

The players were content to check down the board, which filled out {K-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades}, and showed the following hands:

Field: {J-Spades}{A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Bach: {2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}
Mikkelsen: {4-Spades}{A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

The dealer awarded the entire pot to David Bach, however, if our notes on the hand are correct, then Dag Martin Mikkelsen should've been awarded the half the pot with a A-3-4-5-6 low. There was a bit of confusion between the dealer and tournament director Mike Tarr as to which hands won the respective high and low, but in the end Bach was awarded the whole pot.

Strangely, neither Mikkelsen nor anyone else at the table spotted the error, and play has resumed.
