Poker Player Makes Accidental Call, Busts Opponent Deep at WSOP

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

There are many ways to get lucky deep in a World Series of Poker (WSOP) event. For one player on Monday in Event #25: $500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em, that way was by accidentally calling an all-in bet.

A crazy hand ensued on Day of a tournament that had 4,100 entrants and was down to 103 players. The payouts at the time were small, with the next elimination taking home just $1,702. But the top two finishers will receive a six-figure payout, so winning all ins at that point were valuable.

Douglas Cowell, however, ended up losing his stack during the barely-better-than-a-min-cash phase of the tournament, all because of a mistake his opponent, Scott Coyle, made.
