You can chalk this one up in the "never seen that before" poker category. Pierre Kauert busted in sixth place in the WSOP Circuit Main Event at King's Casino on...get this...a heads-up chop pot.
Yes, that's right, he became the first player ever, at least on a live stream, to be eliminated from a tournament in a hand he didn't actually lose. No one, not even the announcers, caught the mistake, and by the time it was discovered the pot should have been chopped, it was too late.
"It does fall under player and dealer responsibility and cannot really do anything about it at this point. If it wasn’t live streamed it would never have been realized and so we just move on," World Poker Tour's Executive Tour Director Matt Savage, who was not associated with the event, explained to PokerNews when asked how he would have proceeded.
Seth Davies limped in from the small blind and Isaac Haxton checked his option. The flop came 
and Davies check-called a bet of 80,000 from Haxton.
Both players checked through on the 
turn and the 
river. Davies tabled 
for two pair and was awarded the pot.
A couple of hands later, Adrian Mateos raised to 175,000 on the button and Davies three-bet to 420,000 in the small blind. Mateos just called and the flop fell 
. Davies continued with a bet of 250,000 that was enough to force Mateos' cards to the muck.
