Strange Hand in April's Port Perry Tournament
I played in the April Port Perry tournament, and witnesses an interesting event, to say the least.
There were 6 players left, and player UTG doubles blind. I am in small blind.
Everyone folds to me, I also fold.
Big blind re-raises all in, and then flips over pocket AA before the player UTG has called!!
UTG player shows his 33, but the hand was called a misdeal, and everyone got their money back.
I thought that when a hand was exposed in a tournament that either...
a) the player's exposed hand is considered dead..
or.
b) The hand continues, with the exposed hand being played face up...
I don't mind the ruling, as I was allowed to take my small bind back, but I was just wondering if anyone had seen a similar situation, and what was the result?
When it happened, I figured that the player UTG with his 33 would be able to fold, after seeing the AA, and the AA would win the pot.
I remember watching a WPT event, where a player says "I BET" and then his opponent says "I' CALL" before the first player anounced his bet amount. Then the first player asked the second player: "How do you know you are going to call, you don't know what I'm going to bet yet" then he asked the pit boss: "What is the minimum bet amount"? and made that his bet....
