Ellefson on Crumbs After Misclick

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Florian Duta had bet 155,000 in position against Cliff Ellefson, who had checked a completed board of {8-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Ellefson slid in 255,000 and exposed {q-}{q-}, but he was soon informed he had put in too many chips. The tournament director arrived and ruled Duta could only call or fold to a min-raise as Ellefson had clearly intended to call since he exposed his hand. Duta said he called and showed {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a flopped boat.

Ellefson was left with only around 40,000, which he doubled on the first hand after the miscue.
