Misikoff Wins Pot Despite Exposing Hand on River

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

With 4,800 chips in the middle, all six players involved checked the {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop and the {8-Spades} turn.

The river brought the {3-Diamonds} and Gary Misikoff bet out 2,200 from the big blind. The under-the-gun player also called and it folded around to the small blind.

Misikoff, however, accidentally turned over his hand before the small blind acted, seemingly only exposing an eight. The small blind went into the tank for a good 90 seconds before making the call with {q-}{10-} for two pair.

Misikoff, playing in his first-ever World Series of Poker Event, turned over {9-}{8-} for a straight and the win, laughing off his mistake afterwards.
