Eveslage Doubles Up, Loses $100
Chad Eveslage raised to 100,000 and had just one T-5,000 chip behind. Julien Martini called from the small blind and Rafael Concepcion called from the big blind. On the flop, Martini and Concepcion checked to Eveslage, who bet his final T-5,000 chip.
Here's where things get interesting. Martini wanted to either make it 55,000 or 50,000, but the floor ruled he could only call the 5,000 and not perform any other action.
This caused commotion at the table as Eveslage and Martini were convinced other action was still allowed, while Concepcion and Denny Axel were sure the only play possible was to call the single chip.
"I bet you a hundred bucks this is right," Concepcion said to Eveslage, who quickly took the bet.
"I really don't think this is right," Eveslage said and Martini concurred. Eveslage asked for a ruling from a different floor member.
"There's not a floor in the world who's gonna agree with you," Axel pipped.
The second brush ruled as well Martini could only call the T-5,000 chip and he and Concepcion did. They then checked it down on the turn and river.
Eveslage rolled over for a flush and an ace-trey for low, and both other players mucked. He then reached into his wallet to pay off Concepcion.
