Floor Ruling Leads to a Unique Hand
Jimin Lee and Clayton Jacobs were involved in a weird pre-flop situation that was solved in a creative manner by the floor director.
Apparently, Lee had made a re-raise to 22,800. The dealer made the mistake of thinking it was an all-in and had thrown the "ALL-IN" arrow the way of Lee's chips. Jacobs immediately threw in a chip to signify a call and flipped over his cards to reveal pocket queens.
Lee protested that it wasn't all-in, but it was just a raise.
The floor director was brought in to sort the situation. It was clear that Lee saw the cards of Jacobs and instead that it was only a raise.
Anyway, the floor ruled for Jacobs to match the 22,800 and that the dealer run the board without any more betting. Both players agreed to the terms, although Lee was disappointed, knowing his pocket jacks were. behind.
The board came 9♦ 6♣ 4♥ 4♦ 4♣ and the 46,000 in the middle went the way of Jacobs.
