Button Confusion Leads to Glaser's Seven-Deuce Victory

Level 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

There was a lot of commotion over at Benny Glaser's table. Two floormen were discussing with the players and the dealer how to handle the situation that just occurred.

Allegedly, Glaser had put in a big blind and ante, thinking that he was in the appropriate position. However, the button was actually three seats prior, leading to two people putting in a small blind before Glaser's big blind. No one at the table realized this before significant action had taken place, in the form of an 80,000 raise from Darren Harbinson and a fold.

The floor ruled that Glaser would get his 40,000 ante back and his big blind would count as an under the gun call. Meanwhile, the second small blind Daniel Rankin had to put in the additional 60,000 chips to cover the big blind and ante.

With the ruling set in stone, the hand continued as normally as it could. The action folded around to Rankin, who called, as did Glaser.

The flop was and both ''big blinds'' checked to Harbinson, who fired a continuation-bet of 110,000. Rankin abandoned this ludicrous situation, but Glaser stuck around with a call. The turn fell the and Glaser check-called another bet from Harbinson, this time for 190,000.

The river saw Harbinson complete the triple barrel, firing for 255,000 after another check from Glaser. Glaser remarked ''This pot is f-ing crazy, I call''. Harbinson replied by saying ''You're good, I missed my flush draw'', after which Glaser tabled a very surprising for a rivered two pair.

The showdown got some laughter from the crowd that had gathered around the table, but Glaser was the one who had the last laugh as he raked in a big pot that should not have ever happened in the first place.

Level 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Gary Thompson raised to the minimum amount of 80,000 from the hijack and Thomas Kitt called in the cutoff. Liam Tansey was in the small blind and only played six big blinds in the form of 265,000 chips. He promptly shoved them in the middle hoping to multiply them. Thompson then went all-in as well for about the same amount as Kitt's stack.

Kitt quickly got out of the way, leading to a showdown between the other two.

Liam Tansey:
Gary Thompson:

Tansey was looking for a five and it miraculously arrived on the turn on the board. The river remained clean of eights with the and Tansey more than doubled to a more manageable stack.
