White Doubles in Bizarre Hand
Zach White opened from from middle position and was called by the button and the big blind.
On the 5♠3♠3♥ flop, the big blind led with an overbet of 40,000. White then responded with an all-in jam for 70,000 and the button quickly folded.
Then, the confusion begins. The big blind sighed and flipped over his hand without declaring an action. The dealer began to push the pot towards White before the big blind stopped him, saying that he had called. The hands are tabled and the dealer runs out the board.
Zach White: 6♥6♣
Big Blind: K♦5♦
The board ran out 8♥10♦ to give White the winner.
However, the action did not stop there. The big blind contested that he never called and that he would never call after seeing White's cards, despite getting over five-to-one, more than good enough odds to make the call. The floor was called over and ruled in White's favor, and he got the full double.
The big blind was eliminated the following hand.
