Chaotic Badeucey Hand Goes to Martinelli

Frank Visser

Level 14

Badeucey

Michael Martinelli and Jon Turner were in the blinds but accidentally halved the required amounts without anyone noticing. Brian Brunner then wanted to raise, but did so without a verbal declaration.

The table then noticed the wrong blind and asked the floor for a ruling. Brunner's action stood as a call and the hand continued.

Erick Lindgren also limped on the button and Michael Martinelli completed his small blind. To add to the confusion, Jon Turner tossed his five cards in the muck, again without a verbal declaration.

The floor person was called back and it was ruled that Turner's action would be to draw five cards. Martinelli then drew three cards before Brunner and Lindgren each took two.

After the first draw, the action checked to Lindgren, who pushed out a bet. Marinelli raised, which forced out Turner and Brunner. Lindgren stuck around with a call, however.

On the second draw, Martinelli exchanged one card while Lindgren still needed two. Another bet followed from Martinelli, which received a quick fold from his opponent as he was shipped the pot.
