Pahuja Doubles Up After Floor Ruling
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Vineet Pahuja moved all in for 26,500 from early position. It folded around to James Calderaro, who had just sat at the table. He sat with cards in front of him, but it was unclear whether he was allowed to play the hand.
It was clear that Calderaro was at the table when his second card was dealt, but the timing of the first card off the deck and when Calderaro's position was first dealt a card was unclear. The floor ultimately ruled that Calderaro had a live hand.
"Hope I have a biggie," he said, before folding. Waheed Feda then called and the blinds folded.
Vineet Pahuja: J♣10♣ 
Waheed Feda: Q♦J♦
Pahuja was dominated but the 9♥8♣5♥ flop gave him straight outs. The turn was the 8♠ but the river 7♥ completed his straight and he stayed alive.
