Boatman Penalized

Level 7 : 300/600, 0 ante

The floor was called to Table #366 a moment ago with some controversial action having just played out.

It was determined that Barny Boatman bet 10,000 chips into a 20,000-chip pot after the river on a {2-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs} board had been revealed.

The player to Boatman's left potted it, moving all in, but Boatman thought he had just called, tabling his losing {a-}{a-}. His opponent held {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and was expecting to get paid, but the dealer mucked the aces and determined Boatman was folding, considering he said nothing at all.

Once the floor turned up, Boatman explained he thought he had been called, but would have folded to a pot sized all in bet. He was handed a nine-hand penalty for exposing his hand with action pending, but saved himself some chips.
