Angle Or Honest Mistake?
Phillip Wilcocks raised to 100,000, at which point Leo Boxell threw out 150,000. This is where the controversy started, with Boxell's bet deemed a raise when he apparently only meant to call. Willcocks then raised to 400,000 and Boxell decided to move all-in. Willcocks made the call and turned over his , while Boxell tabled . Willcocks then asked if Boxell's mistaken raise before may have been angle shoot. Boxell assured him it was an honest mistake.
Willcocks left the table while the board ran out , with no danger for Willcocks as he took the double-up.
When Willcocks returned to his seat for the next hand he asked Boxell, "Was that an old school angle shoot before?"
"It really was an honest mistake," replied Leo.
There was no hostility between the players, but it seems Willcocks was still wondering whether or not Boxell did in fact try an angle shoot.
