Simon Gets a Penalty
Jesse Simon made it 120,000 under the gun with Joey Padron calling from the next seat, Tony Gregg calling from middle poisiton, and Alen Tenorio defending his big blind.
When it checked to Simon on the 3♥5♥6♠ flop, he bet 225,000, which was only called by Tenorio.
The 6♥ landed on the turn, and after about thirty seconds, Tenorio picked up chips and began to extend his hand toward the middle, preparing to bet. A split-second before he was able to place the chips down, Simon declared, “All in.”
The floor was called, and it was ruled that Simon’s action would stand only if Tenorio checked, but could be retracted if Tenorio bet. Visibly confused by the events, Tenorio ultimately chose to check, locking in Simon’s all-in for 635,000.
Visibly confused by the turn of events, Tenorio folded. Simon revealed 7x7x and was subsequently given a one-round penalty for acting out of turn. He apologized to the table, explaining that he believed Tenorio had already bet and thought he was moving all in over the top immediately after.
