Deal Seventh, Up Yours

[user101598]

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

While carousing around the tournament area, we noticed that there was a hand on Table 285 with five up-cards.

Strange, right?

We came to find out that while dealing seventh street, the dealer slipped, and Shawn Sheikhan's seventh card was exposed. The rules state that if one down-card is dealt up, the subsequent cards should be dealt up as well. So, David Fox's seventh card was dealt up, and the boards looked like this.

Sheikhan: (X)(X) / {4-} {6-} {10-} {k-} {6-}
Fox: (X)(X) / {9-} {6-} {10-} {9-} {10-}

Sheikhan tossed out a bet, which brought up another question: Can a player bet if his card is exposed? The consensus was yes. The only way a player would be forced to check is if he purposefully exposed the card, which Sheikhan did not.

The bet stood, and Fox opted to make the call. Sheikhan opened up {a-} {3-} for a ten-six-four, and won the pot.
