Event 12: Getting it Right

$170 + $30 Deep Stack Double Play NLH (2 Re-entry)

There's been a lot of action in the Event Center, so occasionally things get overlooked. Right in front of media row there's a three way all-in and some confusion as to who wins the side pot.

Craig Santoro (Annondale, NJ) has aces up and the short stack assumes he's been eliminated as the dealer turns his cards face down. Another player notices that the short stack actually hit a straight on the river and is still alive.

The short stack has to be called back to the table, but Santoro calmly asks for a ruling on who the 4k side pot should go to. After hearing the details the floor awards the side pot to the short stack as all hands were tabled before the river.

Santoro says, "I've been getting beat up since last January and I'm mad because I shouldn't have even been in the hand."

The short stack is knocked out a few hands later.
