Dude Exits Tournament And Still Has Chips

As told by Pezman "Pez" Haghshenas (Persia, Iran) three players were all in pre-flop. Cards were flipped onto the felt to reveal K-K, A-Q suited, and 9-9.

As soon as the older gentleman playing pocket nines saw a flop of 4-K-2 he stood up with disgust, uttered an expletive and hightailed it out of the room, the tournament, and probably Borgata.

But...in his anger he never realized he won the side pot of 5500. The chips are sitting right there in front of his empty chair as I type this post - plus he was the dealer and could have seen several more hands for free.

Dealer will just blind him out as his chips are up for grabs.

Chip and a Chair but in this case, just the chair.

Meanwhile the winner of the hand with a set of kings was Scott Tuchman (Mays Landing, NJ) who took down the ^90,000 pot.

Pez, the player sitting to the now empty seat couldn't believe what he witnessed. I can't either.

There's probably a poker lesson in here somewhere.
