Jeremy Halaska opened for 3,700, Joe "Black" Reddick called from the button and Garry Gates three-bet from the small blind to 11,000. Halaska and Reddick both called and the flop came 
. Gates led out with 15,000 and Halaska tossed out six grey T5,000 chips for a raise, but didn't verbally declare anything. Reddick folded and action was back on Gates.
Here's where things get a little screwy.
Gates had just over 20,000 behind and tossed one over-sized chip in the middle thinking Halaska had raised enough to put him all in. Gates exposed his hand - 
- and Halaska turned his cards face up as well - 
.
Both players and the dealer thought that Gates was all in and the dealer dealt out the turn and river without counting the stacks. The board completed with 
and then it was realized that Gates had more than 30,000 in font of him.
The floor was called and since nothing was verbalized, the dealer didn't count the stacks and the turn and river were already dealt the floorman ruled that Halaska was only responsible for the 30,000.
After the hand Gates is up over 100,000.
