Sverko Gets Dealt Three Cards
Gregor Sverko raised A♦Q♠ from under the gun to 80,000 and David Swift called in the small blind with 7♦7♣. Will Kassouf was in the big blind and called holding A♠2♥.
They saw a flop of 3♥6♥J♠ and when it checked to Sverko, he bet 70,000. Swift then check-raised to 205,000, Kassouf folded, and Sverko's cards also hit the muck.
An interesting situation happened a few moments later when Michael Garner raised to 80,000 from middle position with K♥Q♠ and when it was on Kassouf in the small blind, Sverko realized he had three cards in the big blind.
The floor were called and they ruled that Sverko's hand was dead and the hand could continue. But Kassouf wanted to make a point.
"It's a misdeal. We would all not have had these cards. It's not like he got an extra one as the last card." said Kassouf.
The floor were firm and said the action could continue, but Kassouf still wasn't done.
"Ah, it's only the $10k Main Event, it's only 10 million dollars. If one of busts, you know? I don't know if I want to play this hand. That's the ruling, we have to go with it," explained Kassouf to the floor.
"Neither of us would have had these two cards, none of us would have had the cards we got dealt. That's a bizarre one," were Kassouf's final words before he eventually folded.
