Yokosawa Doubles Up After Interesting Sequence of Events
Level 17
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Masato Yokosawa opened for raise to 6,000 on the button, and Martin Zamani went all in. Yokosawa snap called and the cards were on their backs.
Yokosawa: A♠K♠ 
Zamani: J♦J♣
The dealer was about to deal the flop before Yokosawa stopped her. "Did you burn?", he asked the dealer. The dealer then realized that she hadn't burned, and the floor was called over.
The floor ruled that one exposed flop card, the 2♠ would be the burn card. The board then ran out the K♣7♦6♣8♠Q♦, and it's important to note that the key card that gave Yokosawa top pair likely would have been the burn card before the turn had Yokosawa not noticed the dealer error.
