Controversy Erupts as Kajtez Shoves the River on Grupp
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Matija Kajtez bet 450,000 from the button on a board of 8♠K♥K♦5♦ and Kyle Grupp called in the big blind.
The river came the K♣ and Kajtez moved all in for 2,650,000. Grupp spent several minutes in the tank before the clock was called, and here is where controversy erupted.
The tournament official counted down to zero and declared Grupp's hand dead. But just as he was saying "dead hand," Grupp put the chips in to call. The table argued over whether Grupp's call should stand, and some more officials had to be called over to make a ruling.
It was eventually determined that Grupp would be allowed to call, but the hand proved anti-climatic as they both showed an eight for a full house to chop the pot.
