Jelassi Doubles Up; Gets Penalty for Exposing Cards

Jelassi makes a mistake but still doubles up
Jelassi makes a mistake but still doubles up
An interesting hand devloped between Ramzi Jelassi and Michael Chrisanthopoulos. Here is what happened...

Michael Chrisanthopoulos raised to 26,000. Ramzi Jelassi had 190,000 stacked up and held a 5,000 chip in his hand as he pushed his stack into the pot in an "all in" motion. Except, he did not annouce "all in" and had 5,000 left. Michael Chrisanthopoulos just called. Jelassi forgot about the chip and thought he was all in so he exposed his cards... {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

Michael Chrisanthopoulos bet 5,000 in the dark. The flop came down A-9-5. Jelassi tossed in his last 5,000. The river was a 6 and the river a 3. Michael Chrisanthopoulos mucked his hand and Jelassi doubled up. He increased his stack to almost 390,000.

After the hand, Jelassi was given a five hand penalty for exposing his hand. He had to sit out five hands over the next orbit.
