ElkY Doubles Small

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Jason Mercier completed the bet to 800 on third street, and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier announced a raise. But he only put in enough for the call, and nobody recognized the mistake. In any event, Mercier bet fourth street, too, and ElkY raised all in for 1,400 total.

Mercier managed to run out {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {2-Spades} {2-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} for deuces full of jacks. It was no good, though, as ElkY made {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {6-Spades} {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs}, and the sixes full will keep him around.

As the pot was being sorted, a huge chaos broke out. The dealer didn't have the pot right, and the whole table had their hands in the middle, moving chips around and giving their guesses as to what the pot should be. Jason Mercier fought through the mess to give the correct details, and it was he who finally made the pot right.

"But wait, I raised on third street," ElkY said as Mercier took a small rebate.

"Yeah, I heard him say raise," someone else said.

"I'll be you a million dollars you didn't raise on third," Mercier said firmly. He's right.

ElkY is back up to 4,600 after that little double.
