Terrible Mistake Turns Out Nice for Palovic
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
The gentleman under the gun had raised to 1,050 and been called by Kevin Vandersmissen, Fabrizio Cataldi on the button and the gentleman in the small blind before Dag Palovic in the big blind attempted to call also. Problem was, he had just tossed in a 5,000 chip on top of the 500 chip that had been serving as his blind, and after a discussion with the floorman who'd been called over, it was ruled that the chip constituted a reraise to 5,500. Palovic tried to argue but it did no good.
However, it worked out well for the Team PokerStars Pro - his four opponents all passed and he's back up to his 30,000 starting stack.
