"F*** YOU GUYS!" Major Controversy Sees Depaulo Tripling & Dead Hand Hitting the Nuts

There was a major controversy at Table 124 that lasted around ten minutes and featured plenty of f-bombs and challenges to "bet on it."

Andre Moreira opened to 100,000, and Ryan Depaulo called from the next seat before James Caputo three-bet to 200,000 behind him. Moreira called, and Depaulo back-shoved for 1,175,000. Caputo called, and Moreira then re-shoved for over 3,000,000.

Enter the controversy. According to footage captured by Depaulo, Caputo said something to the effect of him being all in against Depaulo but not Moreira and tabled A♦5♦. The dealer interpreted this as a verbal fold and mucked his hand, leaving Moreira and Depaulo to respectively table J♠J♣ and K♣K♠.

A confused Caputo then argued that his hand should still be alive and that he would've called. Depaulo told him he had folded, but tablemate Martin Zamani came to Caputo's defense and said he never verbally folded.

"Sir, you should not listen to only him (Zamani)," Depaulo told the floor. "Ask anyone else at the table. Because he's being all biased."

"How am I biased?" replied Zamani. "Do you wanna bet on it?"

"He said, 'I'm not calling that.'"

"Dude, he called with ace-deuce earlier. You know he wasn't trying to fold."

Several f-bombs flew, and they only picked up when the floor told Caputo that he would have to surrender 1,175,000 and wouldn't even get to see a flop. Finally, a board was run.

Ryan Depaulo: K♣K♠ All in
Andre Moreira: J♣J♠

The poker Gods were feeling humorous today as the board ran out Q♦8♦K♥4♦A♥, giving Depaulo top set but leaving Caputo with what would've been the winner with the stone nuts.

"F*** YOU GUYS!" Caputo screamed before slamming a stack of around $50,000 cash on the table.

"He got screwed by confusion, but he did fold, Martin," said Depaulo. "I'm sorry, man. It sucks for you, but you folded."

"I didn't fold," Caputo replied. "Why don't we go to the videotape?"

"It's hard to say he folded," said Zamani. "He never said fold, he never said 'I'm not calling.'"

Caputo has had quite the 24 hours. He made a mistake on Day 1d that led to poker legend David Benyamine putting a tough beat on Manuel Pochat, and earlier today, he was involved in another controversy where his hand was accidentally mucked.

Depaulo shared further details of the incident from his point of view. He insists that Caputo, an inexperienced player, clearly folded his hand. The poker vlogger shared a video clip he took from his perspective during the hand.

In a separate tweet, Depaulo claims that Caputo was asked before the cards were mucked if his intentions were to fold, and he responded, "yes."
