Brewster's Unique Story

[user162117]

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

There was just a very unique situation here on Day 2 of APPT Auckland.

It started around 15 minutes ago when there was a discrepancy in the antes during a hand. There was 500 (one ante) less in the pot than there should have been. Minh Nguyen put in the ante (even though it seemed like he had already done so) and the hand played on. However, at this point, Angela Brewster told the floor that she had paid 1,000 ante and was owed 500 change.

Now everyone was confused and so the floor decided to go the cameras.

Meanwhile, the tournament played on until Brewster was all in for 36,000 when she moved all in holding on the turn of a board. Nguyen called her off with and with a on the river, Brewster was eliminated.

Well, she would have been, but then at the exact moment that the river was dealt, the floor arrived and explained that they had figured out the ante problem from earlier – one player, Robert Spano, was given 1,000 change, while Brewster was given no change.
Brewster was owed 500.

The SKYCITY Auckland staff decided that Spano needed to pay Nguyen 1,000 but now Nguyen needed to give Brewster her 500 ante back from that discrepancy and that she could then continue playing the tournament.
Chip and a chair!

Brewster then quadrupled up in consecutive hands and found herself with around 10,000.

Could she turn that interesting story into a fairytale.

Unfortunately she wouldn't as she was ultimately all in with from the big blind and was up against Brotha 'D' Leaoasavaii’s . The board ran out and Brewster was sent to the rail.
