Antics on Table Eight

Not for the first time today, the good folk over on Table 8 were screaming and shouting. So far today, they��ve got excited over a flopped flush, and a guy getting pocket jacks a few hands in a row. Exciting stuff.
This time there was a bit of an argument unfolding between Pravin Harji and a player who we believe to be Max Coppen.
It started with Coppen raising to 2,800 and the table folded around to Harji in the big blind. The dealer didn��t notice that Harji still had cards, as he scooped in the pot, pushed it to Coppen and pulled his cards to the muck.
Harji was adamant that Coppen��s cards were dead, especially after they touched the muck.
��It��s up to him to protect his cards!�� pleaded Harji to the floor staff, but since the dealer pulled in the cards from beyond the line on the felt, the floor ruled they could be retrieved and were live.
Things then got more interesting when Harji pulled out a three-bet, putting 6,800 into the middle. It seemed odd that he had a big hand after seemingly pleading to be awarded the pot without contest moments earlier. The matter was complicated by the fact that Harji��s big blind was still in the middle of the pot, so his bet amount was actually 8,200.
Coppen then moved all in for a total of 30,400 to send Harji deep into the tank. After several minutes of thought, he folded, and the drama was over.
