River Double, a Dealer Error, and an Eye in the Sky
Patricia Moore was in the nine-seat and had tangoed in a significant pot against Jacopo Achille on her direct right. There were several messy barrels between both players as the dealer had accidentally mixed some of Moore's stack with either the pot or Achille's stack.
The board read 8♥5♦A♥7♥K♠.
Patricia Moore: K♥J♠
Jacopo Achille: Q♥Q♣
Moore had secured the double but as several other players at the table witnessed, the dealer had mixed some of the accounting stacks together. Luckily, the floor was quick to stop the motion of the chips, review the footage, and rectify the true chip counts in a delay that lasted less than ten minutes.
The table seemed unperturbed by the short delay and more concerned with making sure Moore was paid her due pot.
