A local fire house ran a great tournament this weekend. It was run better than any non-casino tournament I have ever attended. They had 120 players buy in for 120 with 100 rebuys/add-ons. Winner received a WSOP buy-in plus 2K spending. I did not play, but attended to help and support friends.
The night went very smooth. The greatest hand I saw as a a guy go all in with Ts 7d offsuit when the board was Jh Th 4h. His opponent calls with a disgruntled, yet befuddled look and flips over Kh, Qh (I am assuming that he thought he guy may Ah, xh). So the guy goes all in which I thought was a rancid semi bluff. Then looks utterly amazed that the caller has a flush. To make the story better, the river comes Ah for the Royal! Instant standing ovation.
The problem of the night: Royal Flush guy in the BB and has a nice chip lead (lets say 40K. UTG +1 has 22K and pushes all-in. CO has 7K and calls (all-in). SB has about 14K and calls all-in - BB calls, everyone else folds.
Basically 3 pots (7K times 4), (7K times 3) (8K x 2)
UTG +1 has TT and wins the hand outright dealer throws him the 1st two pots. Dealer throws the (8K x2 ) to the BB (Royal Flush guy). I am watching and my stomach jumps. I do not say anything for the simple reason of, I AM NOT IN THE HAND nor even at the table. No one realizes it, not even the BB.
Two hands later, the guy walks BB goes to get a soda and I ask him. He says, yeah I though that was wrong, but I did not realize it till about a minute ago.
Did I do the right thing? What should have been done? I know that the guy was being honest, I know him well. I know the hand was done, so what is done is done.
