donpeters

Ryan D'Angelo opened from middle position to 3,600. The player in the hijack seat flatted the raise and then action moved to Brett Richey on the button. He reraised to 12,500. Play moved back over to D'Angelo and after getting a count on Richey's remaining stack, he moved all in. The flat-caller folded and then Richey tabled the {K-Spades}

and announced a call.

The dealer didn't hear Richey say call and thought he was mucking his two kings. The dealer grabbed the kings and turned them back over and slid them under the bottom of the deck, which he began to spread across the table as they do when the hand is over, but Richey abruptly stopped him and complained. Meanwhile, D'Angelo tabled the {Q-Spades}

.

Richey pleaded his case and the floorman was called over. The majority of the players at the table heard Richey verbally announce a call and the two black kings were retrieved and turned back over.

The board then ran out {A-Hearts}
