The board read and Dallas Wottlin showed for a full house. Patrick Gunn flipped over his hand but quickly turned it back over and was ready to muck. That was until he noticed that Wattlin only had a high hand. The floor was called over to determine the course of action. In the end, they ruled that because Gunn had flipped over his hand, even though it was for just a second, his hand was able to be tabled. He turned over which was good for the low half of the pot. Gunn had 32,000 and Wattlin 23,000 after the hand.
