Controversy!Once again the news comes from table Flushy. Table partner
Andrew Bradshaw and
Ram Vaswani were also involved.
Flushy started the party off, making it 1,600 from UTG, picking up a call from
Ram Vaswani who threw in a 5k chip to signify it was a call.
This is where the arguments started.
Andrew Bradshaw was apparently told by the dealer "5k on you" so put in a 5k chip to call, only for Flushy to query it.
"Huh? It was only 1,600 to call so he called 1,600?" Bradshaw was not at all happy about this.
"I was told 5k so I called 5k! If I thought it was 1,600 I might have raised!" He now stood on his chair and began flailing about - a classic debating technique, oft used in the house of commons - while the floor was called.
The floor were called over and it was ruled that as the dealer told him it was 5k, his bet was a raise to 5k...
Flushy passed, a disgruntled Ram called and before the flop was dealt Andrew moved it all-in blind.
It came K-8-8 Andrew was all-in and Ram called, unsuprisingly as he had
!
Bradshaw flipped over Aces and once two blanks hit the turn and river, Ram had doubled through to a more dangerous looking 25-30k whilst Andrew was down to dust with 4 or 5k.
awful ruling. Surely the common sense ruling would have been the dealer has made an error and declared 5k to call so action should have gone back to andy and he would have had the option to call the 1600 or raise (fold is not an option). There is no way they can say andys 5k is a raise when the dealer has told him its 5k to call.
think the correct ruling would have been for it to class as a call for 1600 i think by the gukpt rules
