Robert Varkonyi made a bet from late position and made it 2,500. Action folded around to Daniel Suied on the button who made the call, both blinds folded and we got to see a flop. It was here that Varkonyi bet out making it 2,500 again. Suied then wasted little time and raised to 5,700. Varkonyi seemed a bit distraught but still decided to make the call.
A river allowed for Varkonyi to check and Suied to fire out 11,500. Varkonyi played with his cards mixing and matching, moving them over the felt while he stared down the pot deciphering the best maneuver. In the end Varkonyi folded and Suied was awarded the pot.
We just reported to you how table #261 in Amazon Tan had been playing eight cards short for about 40 minutes, but we just got the full story from some of the tournament directors.
Apparently what happened is that when everyone went on dinner break, one of the dealers noticed that some of the cards in their red deck had been dented and she asked for replacement cards. When they replaced the cards, they replaced them with the wrong color and the replacement cards never made it to the correct deck. According to the floor, this meant that they had only been playing short for six or seven hands (after they reviewed surveillance etc.) and that was it. The floor also maintains that for the first half an hour, they were playing with a 52 card deck, but the players at the table are still convinced they were playing with 60, and then 44 (due to the eight replacement cards being the wrong color and being added to the wrong deck). After those "six or seven" hands is when the dealer who pushed noticed the short deck. Obviously there is still a little confusion amongst everyone and the whole section is buzzing about it, but for now there is nothing to be done but for them to continue play with the standard deck.
They did ask for some extra food vouchers for their troubles though. Seems fair.
We didn't catch all the specifics, but we do know that Paul Wasicka was eliminated from the Main Event after slow playing aces and allowing his opponent to flop a flush.
It was a less than spectacular WSOP for Wasicka, who needs only $3,149 to qualify for the Epic Poker League, as he failed to cash at this year's Series.

Deeb rechecked his cards, then decided that flop was friendly enough to raise to 10,000. The UTG player got out, and after a bit of thought the third player folded as well.
Deeb has been steadily adding to his stack today, and now sits with 148,000.
Galen Hall opened with a raise to 2,200 from middle position and got three callers -- the cutoff and both blinds, including Matt Matros in the SB. The flop came and it checked to Hall who continued for 6,000, and all three folded.
