Had a dealer's decision stood Eugene Todd would have been assessed a penalty. Confused? So was Todd...
We caught the action on the river with the board showing and Ronit Chamani checking to Todd. The pot contained right around 25,000 and after Chamani tapped the table, Todd flicked his hand forward in the air, before reaching down to bet 4,000.
That's when the dealer decided that Todd's hand motion may have constituted a check, with Todd remaining adamant that he had not forfeited his option to bet. A member of the floor staff was called over, and after hearing the rundown, he told Todd "that mean's nothing, no check" in regards to his hand motion.
With his ability to bet restored Todd made it 4,000 to go, giving Chamani a good price, and she quickly called the bet.
"You don't check with that hand," said Todd, tabling for quads as he did so. "Sure that was a check dealer?"
Lee Markholt and Derrick Rosenbarger would get all the chips in the middle on a flop and Rosenbarger had to like his position since at the time he had the nuts with for flopped top set. He couldn't count his chips yet, however, as Markholt had [8] for a flush draw.
The turn was the giving Markholt even more ways to knock out Rosenbarger and one of those ways was delivered to him by the dealer on the river giving him a straight. That was enough to send the unfortunate Rosenbarger off to the rail.
