Last week we reported about EPT Barcelona's biggest and most important events. Aside from all record-breaking tournaments, there were several interesting high stakes cash games running at Casino Barcelona during the poker festival. This might be the most intersting pot, though.

This story sounds very confusing and very shambolic.In the end the results must go by what the floor manager says but the dealers should really know the rule before the hand played out. If it was my casino I would make sure running it more than once should not be allowed at all.......solves all this nonsense!!
Interesting story and funny 2 as well. They should banned run it twice and erase it from all existing poker rules and regulations - once the cards hit the board thats it. For me that "run it twice" is a humiliation of the game and bad dealing with the bad beat also cheating on other player who won it the first time. Plus if they all agreed to run it twice i dont see the problem only in dealer like klash said it.

HELLO TO YOU ALL MY FELLOW MOBSTERS Well this a quite a story with a bit of confusion to spice it up and the casino rules that change from place to place I don´t agree with the "run it twice" not a normal way to play poker and if the general rule only allows at the heads-up don´t think there nothing is can do about it

well I dont like running it twice, but in almoust any cash game, even on pokerstars you can run it twice... but I am with the rule of casino here, that you cannot run it twice if there is side pot, and more than 2 players are in pot... so mistake is dealers... but after mistake I would say that first floor guy did it right, but second one made big mistake by giving it to BB player... that doesnt have any sence!!!

Well i don't know about the rest of you but there is no way i would ever agree to running it twice,i hate that idea and i think it is a poor part of the game. If you win you win no 2nd chances by "running it twice".

the dealer should have stepped up here and said that they agreed to run it twice for the entire pot not only did this guy got lucky with a 2 outer , he is getting greedy and wants all the money every big pot before dealing in any casino , you see a floor manager go straight to that table to witness the hand .. in this case it didn't happen so the blame is on the dealer .. he should have told them about this rule

well that was fun to read... not sure who is right or wrong here, usually the truth is somewhere in the middle and if this is the case then i have no idea who is wrong nor who is right. one thing for sure is that i am happy i wasn't involved in this pot. i just stick with different kind of pot...

I am not totally sure why players want to run it more than once,I was told once about it being about limiting the losses for pro players or something but I think less experienced players could be taken advantage of by the shady characters who can try and manipulate what happens.
