Daniel Neilson Responds to Dealer Error at WSOP Paradise that Cost Him $160K in Equity

Mon, 18 Dec 2023 00:00:40 +0000

While the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise proved to be a success, an unfortunate situation has come to light regarding an error at the final table of the $5,300 Main Event. PokerMedia Australia has reported that during three-handed play, Australian poker pro Daniel Neilson paid an extra 10 million in chips after losing a big all-in pot to eventual champ Stanislav Zegal.

A dealer error resulted in an incorrect count 48 million as opposed to 38 million and ultimately left Neilson with 5.2 million in chips instead of 15.2 million. He would be eliminated a short time later. The error wasnt caught by officials and subsequently resulted in the wrong counts on the live stream, which when reviewed confirmed the error had taken place.
