Double MisReid

The floor was called by Daniel Negreanu on the near table as one of the players tried to make a call for 200 without realizing that Jim Reid had already raised it up to 700 from early position. Slicker than the Fonz on a first date, Steve Frezer slid in to make a swift ruling (Negreanu gave it the Kid Poker seal of approval with multiple nods) and said that the player could fold or call the raise, but not retrieve the 200.

Although the player conceded his 200, Richard Wheatley made the call from the big blind and saw a {K-Spades}

flop. After both players checked, Wheatley then pushed in for 2,500 on the {5-Diamonds}

turn to take down the pot.

Reid's woes were to continue, however, as a few hands later he made a faux pas of his own and bet 2,000 instead of 400 from the big blind into a {J-Clubs}

flop. The small blind check-raised for an extra 3,500 and although Jim had a jack, he was sure he was behind and made a disciplined fold.

Amid all the confusion, Reid now has 16,300.
