Alomar Gets Huge Double After Preflop Mishap
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ariel Faskowicz had 14,000 in the middle preflop from the button and Jaume Niell Alomar reraised to 45,000 from the small blind. Faskowicz made the call, but thought his opponent was all in and exposed his cards, A♦K♥.
The floor was called and tournament director ruled that the call stands and action was to continue.
The flop came 10♠4♦J♠ and Alomar quickly shoved all in for 56,000, knowing his opponent's hand. This created an interesting situation and Faskowicz clearly wasn't believing it. He made the call.
Alomar flipped over K♦K♠ for pocket kings. The turn came the 7♣ and river the 5♦. Alomar held to win the pot and double up his stack.
