Trevor Delaney is back in health on the final table of the Colossus as he has just won a huge hand against Natalia Nogina to double up over 12M.
We arrived at the table on the turn, with the board reading and an opening bet of 800K in front of Trevor. Natalia was considering her action for a short while before she slid out a full stack of 100K chips, with a few blue 25Ks on top to bump it slightly over 2M. Action was back on Trevor – who shoved all in as quickly as physically possible!
Natalia was clearly unsure of what to do, and obviously considered a fold. But while thinking, and counting and re-counting her stacks…. she pulled back the chips from her raise. The dealer and some players noticed immediately, and the floor was called.
But before there was a ruling, Natalia quietly declared, “Call… call.” The hole cards were exposed:
Natalia:
Trevor:
Trevor had turned a set of Queens, while Natalia was drawing extremely thin with her flopped set of Fours! Natalia couldn’t make quads on the river and just like that, Trevor is back among the tournament leaders.
For the record, the floor ruling would have been that pulling back the bet stack would commit the player to a call.
