HPT Veterans Battling Early

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

There was a big pot at an early table between two HPT veterans, Penny Banhidy and 2018 HPT The Meadows champion Mike O'Neill. Action was joined on the turn with a board of {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades}. A player from under the gun had bet 1,000 and O'Neill raised to 2,500. Banhidy then three-bet to 6,000. The player from under the gun folded, and O'Neill four-bet to 17,500. Banhidy called, and the river brought a {j-Clubs}.

O'Neill began stacking chips as if he was looking to make a bet, and Banhidy instantly threw in a chip and verbally announced she called. She turned over {k-Spades}{q-Spades} for the second-nut flush. However, action was still on O'Neill. The floor was called and it was ruled that Banhidy's hand was still in play, but that action was on O'Neill. Seeing his opponent's flush, he checked and turned over {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} before sending his cards into the muck.
