Chaos Ensues on Seventh as Cards Tabled

Level 7

Robert Chow was all-in on third for the last of his chips against Kurt Schurecht, Jonathan Miller, and Travis Trail. Miller folded on fifth

Robert Chow: 7x6xAx / Qx9x10x7x
Kurt Schurecht: 7x3x2x / 5x3x3x6x
Travis Trail: Jx5x2x / Ax5x4xJx

Trail bet on fifth and Schurecht called. Sixth street checked through.

On seventh, Trail checked to Schurecht who bet. Trail went deep into the tank before he announced, "I'm gonna pay you off with my jack," and tossed in the chips.

"Good call," Schurecht replied, "I have a full house," as he revealed his hole cards and began to push his cards into the middle. There was, however, just one issue. Schurecht didn't have a full house, he had made a seven low, and the dealer was going to award him the pot.

The decision sent Trail into a frenzy as he claimed that the hand was mucked, even though all seven cards were on the table. The floor was called over and ruled that Schurecht still would be awarded the pot, and that the pushing of the cards forward did not qualify as a muck. Trail remained quite displeased with the ruling as Schurecht's value-bluff won him some extra chips, while Chow was eliminated.

Andrew Kelsall remained interested from an adjacent table to witness the rarely-seen "Razz controversy".
