In a preflop three-bet pot to the 
turn with some 47,000 in the middle, Scott Baumstein had bet 19,400 out of the small blind in the last hand before the break. Alberto Meran on the button then pushed all-in for 161,600 and that sent Baumstein into the tank for more than five minutes.
Some three minutes into the break, Baumstein folded and the pot was pushed to Meran. Chance Kornuth was trying to get Meran to show his cards but that request was denied, and guessing the cards only resulted in some friendly table chatter.
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.

"Well that wasn't the worst outcome," Haxton admitted as Taberham stacked his new chips.
