Early Pot between Behr and Zijp
In the early stages of big tournaments like the Main Event it can be slow going. So when a tournament reporter hears "Floor Table 16!" shouted across the room you make a beeline to that table.
The board was but the controversy had started on the turn where Peder Behr from Sweden had checked, and the dealer, thinking Danny Van Zijp had checked, dealt the turn at the precise moment Van Zijp had bet 300 and Behr had called.
The tournament officials decided, after much discussion including tablemate Ludovich Geilich, that the would be reshuffled into the deck as the action on the turn was considered completed once Behr had called. The dealer reshuffled the deck and instead the was dealt.
Behr checked and Van Zijp bet 800. Behr called and tabled to scoop the pot. "You still calling river if it was the ?" asked Geilich. "Of course" came the reply. Peder Behr chipped up after a small but interesting hand
