Boatman Gets His Chips Mixed Up

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Ross Boatman
Ross Boatman

Serge De Bruyne opened to 300 from the hijack, which gathered calls from the cutoff as well as both David Casey and Ross Boatman in the blinds.

The action checked to De Bruyne on the 9A3 flop, and he continued for 500. The cutoff folded, but both Casey and Boatman called.

The action checked through on the 5, but when Casey checked for a third time on the 8 river, Boatman put 5,200 into the middle.

De Bruyne quickly folded, and Casey followed suit.

"Did you mean to bet 1,200?" a player at the table asked, to which Boatman confirmed he did indeed throw in a 5,000 chip by mistake.
