With a raise and call before him, Evan Teitelbaum called from the button. The player in the small blind three-bet to 15,600 and only Teitelbaum called to see the flop fall 9x9x3x.

The player in the small blind continued for 25,000, Teitelbaum shoved, and his opponent tanked for about two minutes before he called all in with AxQx, trailing Teitelbaum’s 8x8x. The turn and river were blanks for the player in the small blind, and Teitelbaum was awarded the pot.

However, the player in the small blind argued that he had Teitelbaum covered and ought to still have chips remaining. Teitelbaum was certain that he had his opponent covered, and the floor staff went to the cameras to determine for sure.

After a bit of a delay, it was ruled that Teitelbaum had more chips and was officially given the pot, increasing his stack to about 225,000.
