Hardcastle Showing Up In Vegas

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

British poker player Jack Hardcastle was in the mix in a four-way pot. After a middle position open of 2,300 chips and a call from the cutoff and small blind, Hardcastle came along in the big blind.

They saw a flop of {3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and the original raiser slowed down with a check. The cutoff then took over the aggression betting 6,000 and the small blind and Hardcastle both called.

On the {a-Clubs} turn, Hardcastle took over the betting lead after the small blind checked, betting 10,000 and both the cutoff and small blind folded.

Mistelske Takes Down Pot Following Confusion on the Flop

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With around 15,000 in the pot and three players in the hand, the flop came {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts}. The hijack lead for 3,300. A player from the blinds folded, bringing action to Dustin Mistelske in middle position. He called, but the board now read just {q-Spades}{10-Spades}.

The players and dealer looked at each other in confusion. When the previous player folded, the {4-Hearts} had accidentally been scooped into the muck. The table began trying to find a solution. Nobody was positive of what the mucked card had been, but the table was in consensus that it was a small red card. After a few minutes of confusion and deliberation, the dealer carefully looked through the muck and found the missing card, returning the {4-Hearts} to the board.

The {6-Clubs} came on the turn. Mistelske led for 8,500, earning a snap-fold from the hijack, scooping the pot in the process. The accidental muck proved inconsequential and the players at the table had a good laugh about it.
