Lally Wins a Weird One
2-7 Triple Draw
Joseph Couden raised pre-draw and Jaswinder Lally three-bet out of the blinds. Before Couden could act, Lally tapped the table, signifying he was standing pat.
"I haven't acted on my hand yet," said Couden.
"Sorry, I was already standing pat," replied Lally.
Couden then decided to put in the fourth bet and Lally called.
Lally indeed stood pat, and so did Couden. Lally check-called a bet from Couden and both players stood pat on the second draw.
Both players checked and then stood pat again. On the final round of betting, Lally bet and Couden called.
"Eighty-six," said Lally. Couden tossed his cards into the muck before Lally opened 
.
"You had four-four," said a tablemate as the pot was pushed to Lally. Couden indicated that Lally's verbal announcement caused him to muck the winning hand, but with Couden's hand irretrievable Lally was awarded the pot.
