Yranek Doubles Up After Short Delay
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Larry James started the hand with a raise on the button to 12,000. Berkeley Yuan popped the bet to 38,000 from the small blind. After big blind Jorge Yranek threw all of his 44,000 chips in, James folded.
Larry James: 9♥9♣
Jorge Yranek: K♥10♠
The flop came 4♠3♥3♣, then there was a pause in the runout, because the dealer accidentally dropped a few cards off the top of the deck into the try in front of her.
Though the players all believed she replaced them as they were, the tournament director instructed the dealer to shuffle all of the remaining live cards before continuing the hand.
The river and turn of J♣5♠ didn't improve Yuan's hand, giving Yranek the double-up.
