Confusion Gifts Phelps Double
Dean Phelps moved all in for around 50,000 from middle position and was called by the player on the button. It quickly transpired, however, that the player on the button believed he was only calling a limp or perhaps a small raise. Given that he had tossed a chip into the middle, the ruling was clear and the call of the all in stood.
Button Player: 
Dean Phelps: 
Phelps, though ahead, did not hold a dominant lead over his opponent, needing to fade two live cards. The 
did give him a wheel and flush draw to take away some of his opponent's outs before the 
turn vaulted the button player into the lead. Needing to hit a four, heart or ace on the river to avoid elimination in one of the more sickening ways imaginable, he was able to do just that as the 
rolled off the deck.
