Morten v. Morten
We joined the action on a flop of , a heads-up pot brewing between the two Mortens. When Klein checked, Guldhammer fired 200,000 at the pot. That sent Klein into the tank, long enough for the other Morten to call the clock on him. Just a few seconds into his countdown, Klein called.
The turn was the , and the action went check-check. The river is where the fun really started.
The filled out the board, and Klein checked. Guldhammer is quite fidgety at the table, and Klein (and several players at the table) thought they saw Guldhammer check it back. With that, Klein tabled his . As it turns out, it was out of turn as Guldhammer had not checked.
"Floor!"
TD Thomas Kremser arrived with a quickness to sort everything out. Guldhammer was insistent that Klein's hand should be dead, even though that's not a possibility in this situation. He continued to argue that he wanted the hand killed, hinting at the fact that ace-three was the winner on that board. After another several minutes of arguing, Guldhammer check-folded his cards into the muck.
That unusual pot goes to Morten Klein, though he's been given a one-orbit penalty for acting out of turn.
