Raskin's Hand Determined Dead Preflop
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Usually, the action starts with a player making an aggressive action. In this case, it started when the dealer pitched the cards.
As is customary, the dealer pitched two cards to each player, or so she thought.
When the action folded around to the button, only then did Micah Raskin in the big blind notice that he only had one hole card.
The floor was called to give a ruling. It was determined that due to there being significant action, the hand was not a misdeal, and as such, Raksin's hand was dead.
Armed with this information, Sorin Cristea, on the button, immediately raised to 12,000. The player in the small blind folded, and Cristea took the blinds in unusual circumstances.
