Smyth Doubles Following Confusion
Level 7
: 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Johnathan Proudfoot raised to 3,500 from the hijack. The player next to act folded, but then Kenneth Broad called in the big blind. Once he was informed he had acted out of turn, Marty Smyth, in the small blind, announced a raise. This was also out of turn, as Conor Bergin had not yet acted on the button.
Once the confusion was cleared up, Bergin raised to 11,000 before seeing Smyth move all in for 50,500. Both Broad and Proudfoot folded, and Bergin called.
Marty Smyth: A♠A♥ 
Conor Bergin: A♣K♦
There was no help to be found for Bergin, as the J♥6♥9♦J♠2♣ board kept the pocket aces in the lead, providing Smyth a double up.
