Quinnconceivable

A truly bizarre hand saw super-short Joe Rafferty double up to 15,000, although between the time he shoved preflop and his being awarded the pot, the floor had been called over for all sorts of things.

Rafferty was already all-in when small blind Packie Quinn put in a total of 3,000 (the minimum raise however being to 4,000), not noticing the initial raise. The table called for a ruling. While this was being considered, big blind Maurice Harmon folded out of turn, causing more consternation.

In the end, Quinn called the tiny amount left to him and turned {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs}. Rafferty, surprisingly unruffled, flipped the {A-Diamonds} saying, "I only looked at one!" The other...{A-Spades}. It held.
