Jaby Doubles Off Nicoli Amid Controversy
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
The rest of the field had already gone off on dinner break as Cedric Jaby and Antoine Nicoli became involved in a controversial situation at their table.
Jaby had moved all in for 55,000 on a board of 9♣5♥10♣2♠. Nicoli turned over 10♥6♠ and flung them into the middle of the table as Jaby showed 5♠5♣ for a set.
The dealer heard Nicoli say call and went to turn over the river before Nicoli insisted he had said fold. An argument ensued that took nearly 10 minutes as Nicoli passionately asserted he had folded.
Jaby demanded that Nicoli pay off the 55,000 and the floor had to be called over. It was ruled that Nicoli had to put in the chips, much to his disagreement as the river came the J♦, giving Jaby a double up.
