"I Got Bailed Out"

[user253725]

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 200 ante

Kimberley Kilroy opened the preflop with action with a raise to 25,000. Mark Kroon then three-bet to 83,000. Everyone folded to Steven Albini in the big blind, who verbally announced a raise. He then put out enough chips to match Kroon's bet, and made no motion to push out any more. Kroon eventually asked what he was doing, since he'd announced raise. Albini apparently didn't notice Kroon had raised and was trying to three-bet over Kilroy's 25,000. Having verbally committed to a raise, Albini pushed out a min-raise to 141,000. Kilroy folded, and Kroon moved all in. Albini said he thought was pot committed, and called, and the players revealed their cards:

Kroon:
Albini:

The flop came , and Albini outdrew Kroon's tens. Kroon was a little upset about the way events unfolded preflop, and Albini was a little self-conscious about misreading the betting before the action got to him. After the hand, he said to us, "I sh** the bed real bad on that hand, and I got bailed out." However, the bailout worked wonders for his stack, and he had 430,000 when the hand was over.
