Confusion, Rulings and Exposed Cards

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Vinicius Camargo
Vinicius Camargo

It was immediate action on Table 531 in the Main Event.

When the under-the-gun player folded, the dealer pulled in his cards, but also accidentally pulled in the cards of the small blind player, as he was stacking chips from the previous hand and hadn't yet 'protected his cards'.

The next player to act, Jon Kyte, put in a raise to 22,000, but as he did this, the players at the table believed the hand to be a misdeal. The confusion at the table led to Vinicius Camargo sharing his cards with the players sitting next to him, exposing pocket jacks, as he believed he was about to return them to the dealer.

Queue the floor being called. A tournament official arrived, took stock of the action and made a ruling:

1. Because there had been action, the hand wasn't a misdeal.
2. Camargo's hand wasn't dead, but as he had shown two players, he must expose his cards to the whole table.

He turned over JJ.

The hand was now ready to resume, and action was on Camargo, still facing the raise of 22,000.

Camargo responded with a three-bet to 55,000, before one seat to his left, Max Pinnola, four-bet all in for 146,000.

The action returned to Kyte, who folded, and back to Camargo.

Camargo went deep into the tank, knowing that his opponent knew his hand, and still elected to move all in.

After some time, he chose to call anyway.

Max Pinnola: AQ All in
Vinicius Camargo: JJ

The dealer provided a 224K8 board, which was no help to Pinnola; and as he gathered his belongings and left, the rest of the table discussed the very unique hand they had just been a part of.

Buhahiov Stuns Obst on the River

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
James Obst
James Obst

Joshua Boulton raised to 20,000 in middle position and Nazar Buhaiov three-bet to 55,000 in the hijack. James Obst then moved all in for 150,000 on the button and Boulton folded, while Buhaiov took a few minutes and eventually called to put Obst at risk.

James Obst: AJ All in
Nazar Buhaiov: A10

Obst had Buhaiov dominated as the KJ3 flop gave him a pair, while Buhaiov picked up a straight draw. The 3 turn was safe for Obst, but Buhaiov caught the Q on the river to make his straight and send Obst to the rail.

Nawa Hooks Double-Up

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Hiroki Nawa

Francisco Roman open-raised to 37,000 in early position. Miltiadis Kyriakides called in the hijack, and Curtis King followed suit on the button.

Hiroki Nawa then three-bet jammed for 309,000 from the small blind. Roman mucked his cards, and Kyriakides sent his cards into the muck as well. King quickly called, however, and the cards were tabled.

Hiroki Nawa: JJ All in
Curtis King: 1010

Nawa's superior pocket pair remained best on the 2A247 runout, and he doubled up to overtake King in the counts.

Two Round Penalty, Main Event Drama

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ibrahim Senoussi
Ibrahim Senoussi

Drama ensued on Table 513 of the Main Event.

The action began when Ibrahim Senoussi put in a raise of 25,000. Two seats to his left, playing in the hijack, Jeffrey Deegan opted to call before Conor O'Rourke, in the cutoff, three-bet to 115,000.

The action returned to Senoussi, who went deep into the tank. Minutes passed by, and Senoussi seemed no closer to a decision, causing one of his tablemates to call the clock.

The floor was called. As the tournament officials made their way across the room to adjudicate the situation, Senoussi unlocked his phone and started using his calculator to calculate numbers concerning the pot.

Josh Arieh, also at the table, advised Senoussi he was not allowed to do that in the middle of the hand, which caused some tension.

The floor arrived and instructed the players to play out the hand before the situation was handled.

Action back on Senoussi, clock ticking down, he chose to four-bet all in. This received two quick folds from his opponents, and the poker hand was finished.

Senoussi immediately received a one-round penalty for using his phone during a hand. In an apparent misunderstanding due to a language barrier, Senoussi didn't realise he had been penalised. The official made it clearer, which caused some back and forth between the Frenchman and Arieh; his punishment was then increased to a two-round penalty.

An unhappy Senoussi was walked out of the tournament area, and the table continued to play.

Clee Steals the Pot from Taylor

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Esther Taylor raised to 25,000 from the cutoff and only Terence Clee called out of the big blind.

Clee chose to lead out for 35,000 on the 298 flop. Taylor took a few moments before flicking in the call.

The 4 came on the turn and Clee led out again, this time for 80,000. Taylor swiftly released her cards and relinquished the pot to Clee.
