Buttner Oversight Leads to Double Knockout
Georges Zeina limped in from early position, and when action folded to Vitalijs Korhs on the button, he moved all in for 13,500. Alan Buttner called in the big blind, and Zeina stuck around too.
The dealer spread a 10♣Q♦9♥ flop, which saw Buttner check, and Zeina bet 38,500, leaving just 1,500 behind. Buttner called.
The action checked through on the 9♦ turn, and the 8♣ river completed the board.
Buttner moved all in, covering the 1,500 in Zeina's stack, who called.
Korhs flipped over A♣4♦, and Zeina flipped over two pair with K♣Q♣. However, neither player could beat the straight of Buttner, who revealed his J♠6♣.
Buttner let the table know that he hadn't seen Zeina limp in and thought he was closing the action when he called the all-in preflop.
