button in SafariFriedkes Fires at Rigby; Bronstein Takes a Big Chunk Off Moschel Amid Controversy
With 18,000 in the pot on a flop of K♥10♣6♥, John Friedkes bet 5,500 from the button and Nick Rigby called in early position.
Friedkes bet another 11,000 on the 7♦ turn, and Rigby again called. The river was the 7♠ and Friedkes bet 22,000. Rigby called once more, and Friedkes showed A♦A♣ to win the pot.
A situation was developing at the same time on another table, as Ben Moschel and Marc Bronstein went to the river on a board of 5♦9♣K♦10♥Q♥. There was around 35,000 in the middle as Moschel bet 20,000 from the big blind. Bronstein then moved all in.
Other players at the table, though, were adamant that Bronstein had only put in his grey 5,000 chips before announcing all in. The floor had to be called over, and it took several minutes for the situation to be resolved. It was eventually ruled that Bronstein could only raise to 50,000, and Moschel called.
Moschel showed K♥J♥ for a straight, but Bronstein had the nut straight with A♦J♦ to win the pot.
