Big Stax 300 (Day 3): It's A Cruel (Mixed Up) Game

Level 29 - Blinds 75,000/150,000/25,000
Players Remaining: 5 (Average: 5,500,000)

To begin to explain the action that just occurred would likely be too confusing to even lay out.  In the best fashion that we probably can though...we will give it a shot.

Basically...after a raise and a three-bet, there was a premature flop put out (before action could be completed).  Let's take a step back to mention the hand was between Ray Ross and Steven Sarmiento.  

In order to not fill in pieces that aren't fully verified, we will give the story in the simplest terms.  They players were told the flop would be taken back and mixed back in the deck and we would see a new flop.  The players then got all the chips in the middle (the completed action that never had a chance to occur pre).  The hands were exposed and it was A K (Ross) against the A 4 (Sarmiento).  The board would run out clean for Ross until a 4 spiked the river!!!  

Sarmiento would double up to 4,400,000, while Ross was taken down to below 3,000,000.
