It's been a long day of poker at the King's Casino Rozvadov, and it's not just taking its toll on the players, but on the dealers as well. A somewhat peculiar situation just happened on Natalia Breviglieri's table, when she raised to 105,000 from middle position and was facing a shove from MilanoTomasso for 860,000 out of the small blind.
While the partypoker Sponsored Pro was contemplating what to do, the dealer had thought the hand to be over, and had removed the cut card and put the mucked cards and the deck in one big pile. A floor manager was instantly called, and after conferring with the dealer, it was ruled that the hand could continue since the cards hadn't been shuffled together, and thus, the mucked cards could never make it onto the flop, turn or river because of them being in the bottom of the pile.
With that distraction out of the way, Breviglieri got back to the dilemma at hand and ended up making the call with ![]()
. It was a coin flip against MilanoTomasso's ![]()
, but it wasn't to be for the Brit this time as the board ran out ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
and she handed over the chips.
