Griner Out of Line

Griner runs into the floor!

Curiousness at the outer table and it folded around to David Wilkinson in the small blind, who limped. Billy Griner in the big blind raised to 175,000 and, thinking that Wilkinson had folded as he couldn't see any cards, turned his hand over - {a-Spades}{j-Spades}.

Problem with this was, Wilkinson still had cards - they were just under his hand.

The floor was called, and it was ruled that rather than the 175,000 that Griner had actually raised, the bet would only be a minimum raise to 60,000. Wilkinson was permitted to act, and Griner would be issued with a one round penalty at the end of the hand.

Wilkinson called, and they checked down the {8-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{7-Spades} board. Wilkinson mucked at the end of the hand, and once Griner had raked in the pot he headed off to spend a round at the rail. Most unusual.
