Brittany Bell Quintuples Up; Then Penalized

WPT Royal Flush Girl Brittany Bell moves all in from the cutoff to 3,500, and Gu Guan Qun quickly calls from the button. Incorrectly thinking that action was complete, Bell begins turning over her hand as Masato Yokosawa calls from the small blind.

The dealer quickly stops her, but Qun (seated next to her) already saw her cards. Iori Yogo has yet to act in the big blind, so a floorperson is called over, and it’s ruled that since Qun saw her cards, everyone must receive the same information. Bell’s cards are turned over — [Ah7h].

Yogo raises from the big blind, and Qun and Yokosawa both fold. Yogo shows [QsJs], and Bell will only need her hand to hold up against one other player to more than quadruple up.

The board comes [Kh9c3h8c5c], and Bell wins the pot with her ace to quintuple her stack to 17,500.

Brittany Bell  –  17,500  (5 bb)

After the hand, Bell receives a penalty for revealing her hand with action pending, and must sit out for a couple of hands.
