Hemyari Gives his Stack to Mason
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Craig Mason raised to 40,000 from middle position. Keyavash Hemyari on the button three-bet to 320,000 and Mason called.
Keyavash Hemyari: J♣10♣
Craig Mason: K♠Q♠
Mason flopped top pair on 9♦4♥Q♣10♦5♥ and believed he had eliminated his opponent. “But I have 5,000 behind,” Hemyari replied with his single chip after he flipped over his cards and saw the dealer reveal the board.
A floor supervisor was called and, after the situation was explained, it was ruled that Hemyari still had 5,000 chips remaining after the hand. However, his reprieve was short-lived, as he was eliminated moments later.
