Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Michael Hunsucker bet 1,400 from under the gun on a flop of 9♠Q♣J♣ before an opponent raised to 4,400 in the small blind. Hunsucker called, and the 8♦ fell on the turn.
The small blind then grabbed a stack of chips and lifted them above the table. Hunsucker instantly tossed in his last 12,500, but his opponent then took back his chips and claimed he hadn't bet. A tournament official was called over, and it was ruled the small blind was allowed to check. Hunsucker's all-in bet stood, and his opponent eventually called with Q♠J♦ for two pair. Hunsucker, though, had 10♦8♥ for a straight.
The river was the 5♣, and Hunsucker doubled up. "I acted too fast," Hunsucker said as the two players brushed off the incident.
