Headphones Turn To Headaches

A strange hand just went down between two unknown players. The first player announced "all in" without moving any of his 25,000 chips into the middle. The action passed to a player wearing headphones who announced "raise", not realizing that the earlier player had already moved all in.

The mistake was pointed out and the floor was called. It was deemed that the verbal action was binding and the player would have to make a minimum raise. The other players folded and the cards were tabled.

The first player held {5-Diamonds}

with the second player showing {K-Clubs}

.

The board ran out {9-Clubs}

to give the first player a bizarre double up. Perhaps this acts as a handy lesson to headphone users to ensure that you always observe the action carefully!
