Miculitzki Wins a Hand he had No Business Winning
With around 10,000 in the middle preflop, Miles Barnum and Gaston Miculitzki went heads-up to a flop of A♦10♦6♠. Barnum was first to act and threw in a bet of 6,000. Miculitzki thought the bet was 1,100 and called. Once the dealer informed him of the bet, he stated that he was color-blind and now wished to fold.
The original ruling was that Miculitzki could surrender his 1,100 and fold. Barnum along with others at the table argued the ruling and a second opinion was obtained. Upon further review, it was determined that Miculitzki must call the full 6,000 but he was able to keep his cards.
The turn brought the K♥ and Barnum checked this time. Miculitzki frustratingly moved all in for 37,800 which put Barnum in the tank for a couple of minutes before he called. Miculitzki tabled K♣K♦ for a set of kings while Barnum was left drawing slim with A♥Q♥. The river was the 7♠ and Miculitzki scored a big double up.
Miculitzki celebrated a bit by clapping his hands much to the dismay of Barnum. "That's f***ed up man. Why are you celebrating?" Miculitzki felt justified in his celebration as the two players barked back and forth for a couple of moments.
