Liu Takes the First Pot in a Controversial Hand
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
On the first hand of the day, Lewis Spencer raised to 2,000 in early position. Xuan Liu was in the big blind but the dealer thought everyone folded, putting the deck down and getting ready to ship the pot. However, Liu still had cards and wanted to call which was allowed after a floor ruling.
The flop came 
and the action checked through to the 
on the turn and the 
on the river. Liu finally led out with a large bet of 6,000 and Spencer sent his cards to the muck.
