Dispute on Table 13 Results in a 20-Minute Hand

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Adam Lamers

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

There was a discussion taking place on Table 13 and the floorman was called to the table. A completed board of was spread across the table and both hands were face up. Kazuhiko Yotsushika held and Halil Coknez had . Both players were all in on the turn and the only part that was clear was that Yotsushika was the player at risk.

After the river, the dealer made an error thinking that Coknez won the pot, pushing all of Yotsushika's chips across the table. Once the error was realized, it was too late as both of the stacks had been pushed together and neither player knew exactly how many chips they had.

It was discussed repeatedly with other players at the table but nobody appeared to have a distinct answer. Multiple floor staff were called to resolve the issue and after nearly 20 minutes of not playing any hands, it was decided that Yotsushika started the hand with 90,000 chips and would be paid accordingly.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kazuhiko Yotsushika	184,000 74,000	74,000
Halil Coknez	57,000 49,000	49,000
