James Geddes raised to 12,000 out of the small blind, Ken Taffaro moved all in from the big blind, and Geddes asked for a count.
The dealer cut down the stacks, then announced, "Forty-one."
Geddes looked at his stack, and then said, "Call."
Geddes: 
Taffaro: 
The dealer fanned 
, giving Geddes a leading pair of queens, and he held as the turn and river came 
, 
respectively.
After the hand, Taffaro's stack was counted down again, and this time the dealer announced, "Ninety-five."
This was the correct count, Taffaro had 95,000 chips not 41,000. Because of this, the all in was for effectively 72,000, and Geddes doubled.
Despite winning the hand, Geddes was upset about receiving misinformation. Taffaro was equally upset, because if Geddes was given the right count, he may not have made the call.
