Jarzabek Eliminated in Controversial Hand
Alexander Haber opened from middle position and the action folded to Casey “bigdogpckt5s” Jarzabek who moved all in. The blinds released and Haber asked for a count to which the dealer responded, "It's around 80,000."
Jarzabek refuted this estimate saying it was 130,000, but it was too late because Haber had already snap-called tabling before Jarzabek had a chance to correct her. Jarzabek opened and the board ran eliminating him from the tournament.
"That was ridiculous!" Jarzabek protested. "Call the floor. There's such a big difference between 80,000 and 130,000...it's almost double!"
When the floor arrived they informed Jarzabek that although it was a mistake, there's nothing they can do to change it now.
"There goes your shot at two million, sorry!" Jarzabek muttered mockingly as he walked away.
"I had a pair," Haber added. "I was calling anyway."
No one truly knows what Haber would've done if provided with the right count, but Jarzabek has a right to be angry with the dealer's egregious error.
