Jarzabek Eliminated in Controversial Hand

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Alexander Haber opened from middle position and the action folded to Casey ��bigdogpckt5s�� Jarzabek who moved all in. The blinds released and Haber asked for a count to which the dealer responded, "It's around 80,000."

Jarzabek refuted this estimate saying it was 130,000, but it was too late because Haber had already snap-called tabling {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} before Jarzabek had a chance to correct her. Jarzabek opened {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and the board ran {5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} eliminating him from the tournament.

"That was ridiculous!" Jarzabek protested. "Call the floor. There's such a big difference between 80,000 and 130,000...it's almost double!"

When the floor arrived they informed Jarzabek that although it was a mistake, there's nothing they can do to change it now.

"There goes your shot at two million, sorry!" Jarzabek muttered mockingly as he walked away.

"I had a pair," Haber added. "I was calling anyway."

No one truly knows what Haber would've done if provided with the right count, but Jarzabek has a right to be angry with the dealer's egregious error.
