Hearn's Misfire Works Out

"Raise," said small blind Catherine Hearn. She moved to put out a raise to 1,200, not realizing that a player in the cutoff had already raised to 1,200. Hearn was momentarily confused until the dealer instructed that because she had declared raise, she was required to put out at least 2,000 chips (a minimum raise). Hearn did just that and the cutoff called.

Both players checked all the way to the river as the board developed {Q-Spades} {7-Spades} {2-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}. At the river, Hearn took down the pot with a bet of 3,000.

"Sorry," she said as she collected the chips.
