Pescatori Wins His All In and a Side Bet to Go With It
Max Pescatori: 
/
Four players arrived at seventh street as Max Pescatori went all in for 1,600, just over half a big bet for the level.
The player immediately on his left announced "bet," and tossed in a single over-sized chip. Players began to discuss if that chip meant a call of the 1,600 or a full bet of 3,000, and just what the player's options would be hypothetically in that situation.
"He should be able to make it 1,600, 3,000, or 4,600," chimed in Yuval Bronshtein.
"He can never make it 3,000 there, you want to bet?" offered Pescatori.
Pescatori and Bronshtein settled on a wager as they called the floor over to clarify.
The floor made clear that, "because the all in is over half the big bet, you can not make it 3,000. A raise would be 4,600." The floor enforced a call in this particular instance.
"If you were running bad this World Series I wouldn't take it," said Pescatori. "But....," he drifted with a smile. "And I have a full house," which was good enough for the high portion of the pot.
