This happened to me on Saturday night in my local casino and I'm interested in people's opinion on the action taken.
I was playing 5/5 NLH and at the time had a stack of around $600
I'm in late position and the turn makes my hand 2-pair. Guy in early position bets out approx $50 and there are 3 callers. I count out a raise to $300 and declare my raise and put my chips in. I now have $100 left after the pre-flop and flop betting.
Early raiser Guy in early position has a lot of chips and tanks for a bit. He has a flush draw. Whilst he is tanking I pick my chips up and have them in my hand. He is 2 to my left and can see me clearly. After a while he puts out a stack of green $25 chips, which was approximately $500. He did not declare a raise.
The dealer then counts out his chips and returns him the difference to match my bet, making it a call. The whole table knows the guy meant to call.
Before the river guy declares he's drawing for a flush and then says he didn't know I still have chips in my hand. $100.
The river comes a jack that didn't make his flush, however it paired another jack on the board. With the chips in my hand I put my hand over to bet and the other guy slams his cards over (face up) onto the board, as a fold before I have time to even drop my chips.
I show my cards and the dealer is shipping me the post (over $1000). At this time a player at the end of table points out that the other guy actually now had the winning hand as we now had 2-pair (the jack counterfeited my original 2-pair). His kicker was better.
He had no idea that his hand was better after folding and immediately called the floor manager.
After 30 minutes of reviewing everything the casino ruled that my opponents bet on the turn effectively was a raise and that he won the pot. The whole table knew it wasn't a raise and that the dealer declared it a call.
I pointed out that had I not shown my cards after my opponent folded
I would have won the pot. He folded his hand, albeit face up and my chips never hit the table before he chucked his cards in.
Loads of debate at table after that the casino messed up and should have paid us both.
All comments welcome.
