Misclick Four-Bet Works for Wilcox

Livello 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action folded to Gordon Wilcox in late position who raised to 800. The button put in a three-bet to 2,600 and with action back on Wilcox, he grabbed chips and tossed them into the pot intending to call.

When the chips hit the felt, though, it quickly became apparent that he had accidentally grabbed 5,000 denomination chips to make a call that ended up being an accidental four-bet to 12,600.

Wilcox made the table aware of his accident and as everyone got a kick out of the mistake, the player on the button five-bet jammed.

Wilcox lifted his cards up and said, "Well, we're dead, but I'll take a shot," before tossing in calling chips and sending the two players to a runout with the button player at risk.

Button: A♥K♠
Gordon Wilcox: A♦3♦

The dealer knocked the table and burned a card before dealing three and flipping them over to reveal the K♣ in the window, but much to the dismay of the button player, the 3♥ and 3♣ were hiding right behind it and jumped out onto the board as the dealer fanned out the flop.

The turn and river came the A♠ and 4♦ and with that, Wilcox sent his opponent to the rail with a very fortunately timed misclick.
