Controversy Ends in Split Pot, Penalty

Some curious controversy over at Table Naalden, as two unknown players (one is seated in an awkward position which cannot be reached by any blogger while players are at the tables and the other stalked off as soon as he was issued a penalty) became somewhat involved.

It seems as though Player In An Awkward Seat bet 20,000 on the turn of a {K-Clubs} {A-Spades} {2-Clubs} {7-Clubs} board and Player Soon To Be Issued A Penalty announced call and turned his cards over, across the line; they were {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}. However, Player In An Awkward Seat pointed out that Player Soon To Be Issued A Penalty was not actually all in - he had around 3,000 back, and the floor was called over.

Eventually it was ruled that P.S.T.B.I.A.P's hand was not dead, and when P.I.A.A.S. moved all in on the {3-Diamonds} river P.S.T.B.I.A.P. called. P.I.A.A.S. turned over {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}, and they chopped it up. A one-round penalty for the artist formerly known as Player Soon To Be Issued A Penalty.
