A Strange Turn of Events

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Something most unusual has gone down on the final table and the clock was paused while things were sorted out. It all started when Yazhou Chen shoved for 395,000 from the hi-jack and big blind Wing Kei Chan made an immediate call in the big blind.

So far, pretty normal, and this is where things got a bit weird. Chan triumphantly tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} and Chen revealed his hand, turning over what he thought was pocket queens.

OPC Misdeal
The strangest misdeal

However, sandwiched between the two ladies was another card and Li revealed {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{q-Spades}. Things were in a state of flux while the tournament directors checked the cameras for potential foul play, but it was ruled to be an honest mistake and declared a misdeal. Cards are now back in the air with 4-minutes remaining on the level.
