The dealer was collecting around 7,000 from both Glen Freestone in the small blind and a player in the cutoff as preflop action had ended, putting around 16,000 total into the pot.

The flop fell and Freestone bet 10,000. His opponent called.

The turn came and Freestone checked. His opponent put in a bet of 18,000 and Freestone announced he was all in, totaling around double the bet. Irrespective of the raise size, the player in the cutoff mucked immediately, sending his cards forcefully along the felt so that they slid right into the muck pile under the dealer's right hand before the pot was shipped Freestone's way.
