Under The Gun and Over Exposed
Bruce Jiang had opened under the gun but when he pulled his hand back from dropping the chips, he accidentally exposed the J?10? to Michael Mcfadden who was sitting in the big blind.
Floor was called and it was the Tournament Director's ruling that Jiang would be forced to play with his hand exposed. He did not offer any further penalty to Jiang, as it was an obvious accident. The TD later went on the say, "I'm not penalizing you because you punished yourself".
The table then folded around, explaining they would act as if they hadn't seen his hand. However, once it was folded to the big blind, Mcfadden did go all-in, forcing Jiang to fold.
Mcfadden showed the A?Q?, explaining he wouldn't have made a move with a random weak hand in this particular circumstance. Jiang made light of the situation and requested that Pokernews report the incident, as it was a funny turn of events.
