James Chen Shows The Wrong Two
John Monnette opened from under the gun with a raise. Next to act was James Chen, and he three-bet to 10,500. Action folded back around to Monnette, who called.
Monnette took one, while Chen stood pat. Both players then checked. Chen turned up 
, apparently signifying he had a ten-six low. Chen then turned up his whole hand and showed 
for a ten-seven low. Monnette then mucked.
"You can't be doing that," Frank Kasella said, who was seated a few spots over. Monnette said it didn't matter because he couldn't beat either hand.
"I really didn't mean to do that," Chen said. "I actually did think I had a ten-six."
"I noticed it right away," Hellmuth said. "But I know John. He wouldn't miss something like that."
Either way, Chen was pushed the pot, while Monnette was left with just under 20,000 chips.
