Messouat Not Sure of All-In Rule
Level 4
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Action was caught on the J♠4♠Q♠5♦ board, with around 17,000 in the middle.
Zahir Messouat bet 6,500 before Mitch jammed for 10,000.
Messouat was adamant that Mitch could not move all-in as his 10,000 was not enough to make a raise. This confused the table, and the dealer so much so that the floor had to explain that Mitch's bet was legal.
Messouat still appeared confused by the ruling but put in the calling chips.
Mitch: K♦J♥
Zahir Messouat: 7♣6♣
Mitch had a pair of jacks to be ahead, and he doubled up after the 10♠ river.
It was confusing behaviour from Messouat as he has almost $180,000 in earnings.
