Pilgrim Lays Down Big Slick in Strange Pot
Matt Marafioti opened for 2,000 under the gun, and Dwyte Pilgrim reraised to 5,100 in the small blind. Apparently, as Isaac Baron was tanking in the big blind, Matt Marafioti shoved all in. The floor was called, and after Baron raised pot, Marafioti was informed he could take his bet back and do whatever he wanted since the action had changed. He did so, and folded his hand. Pilgrim took his time, thinking for over a minute before mucking 
face up.
Baron took the pot, but afterwards he was informed had he just called, Marafioti's bet would have stood since the action hadn't changed. At this, Baron expressed regret at the way he played the hand while Marafioti was overjoyed to have gotten away from what he believed to be the second-best hand.
