Exposed Card is Bull's Stuff

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A queen flipped over while being dealt to Robbie Bull, so it had to be replaced. The substitute would prove to be a vital card later in the hand.

The hand was joined on the river, with a mountain of chips in the middle and the board reading AQ103K.

Bull, who was in the hijack, bet 700,000.

David Kaufmann thought about it for some time, then made the call.

Kaufmann had AQ for two pair.

Bull turned over AJ for the Broadway straight. The queen that became the burn card before the flop, had been substituted by the jack.

So instead of Kaufmann and Bull having the same hand, Bull had the better one.
