Sometimes It Pays to Pay Attention
On the flop a early position player bets 3500, a mid-position player raises to 20K and the button moves all-in.
Fold and fold and the dealer pushes the pot before Greg Merkow, who is at the table but not in the hand says: "The pot is wrong!"
"How can it be wrong, they both folded."
"The all-in player did not have 20K."
Everyone ponders while the dealer backs out all the bets and sure enough, the all-in had less than 20K. The 20K raiser gets 4500 in change and is left to ponder if his mucked hand might have won the pot with the turn and river cards he was entitled to see.
