Dealer Reads Cards Wrong--Joe Awada Wins--No He Doesn't

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Joe Awada raised 600 and two players called. The flop came {5-Clubs}

and everyone checked. Players checked the {A-Clubs}

. Seat 3 showed {A-Spades}

, Awada showed {A-Diamonds}

. At that point the dealer pushed the pot to Awada for a pair of aces. Seat 3 objected, pointing out his two pair. The floor was called and cards retrieved. Sure enough, the dealer had misread the nine as a six. The chips were awarded to Seat 3 and left Awada crippled.

The McEvoy and Cloutier Show

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

A short time ago, T.J. Cloutier was spotted counting out $5,000 in cash from a $10,000 wad of bills Tom McEvoy handed to him. McEvoy was "holding" the money for Cloutier for reasons unknown (perhaps T.J. wanted to avoid a trip to the craps table?).

Ironically, two players at McEvoy's table gave them two playing cards for both their autographs. McEvoy signed the {K-Hearts}

while Cloutier signed the {J-Spades}
