Le Peau Pains Opponent, Patel Busts One Too

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A short stack shoved for 21,000 from under the gun, and the action folded all the way to Stephen Le Peau in the small blind. Le Peau had his headphones on and said, "I call," tossing in a single T-1,000 chip. He apparently only then realized that he had indeed called an all in, and Le Peau asked for the floor to clarify the ruling.

The dealer had clearly announced the all-in, it was ruled as a call for the full amount, and Le Peau did so, turning over {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. The player at risk had {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, and Le Peau made a flush on the turn of the {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board to knock out the short stack. "I am sorry man," he said while stacking the chips.

Saurabh Patel also sent out an opponent to the rail when getting there with the inferior hand preflop. Patel had {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, and the player on the button showed {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. The board came {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} to give Patel a straight on the river. Upeshka De Silva joked, "How do you have a double gutshot and a flush draw with pocket fives?"
