Reconstructed Flop Leads to Double-Up
When the action was caught, Antoine Savaria and Pablo Villena each had 6,000 in chips in front of them, along with 7,500 in the pot. However, apparently, the dealer thought that the hand had finished and mucked the flop.
The floor was called over and thanks to the help of some players on the table, the 10♠9♦8♠ flop was eventually reconstructed. The deck was then reshuffled and play went on as normal.
On the subsequent 6♦ turn, Savaria bet out for 15,000, after which Villena jammed all in for 32,300. A quick call followed from Savaria and the cards were tabled.
Pablo Villena: J♦7♦ 
Antoine Savaria: A♠7♣
Both players had a straight, but Villena had the higher one. The 5♠ river did not bring a chop and the unconventional pot was shipped to Villena, leaving Savaria with less than ten big blinds.
