A player raises to 25,000 under the gun and Sandy Lam three-bets to 65,000 on the button. Jean-Sebastien Labonte attempts to call and puts in the chips, but a tablemate notices he actually puts in 90,000.

The floor is called over and Labonte is forced to raise to 105,000. The original raiser folds, but Lam five-bets to 275,000. Labonte then moves all in for 450,000 and Lam calls.

The flop comes and Labonte takes the lead with a pair of kings. The rest of the board comes and Labonte doubles up.

“Smart mistake. It won’t happen twice,” tablemate Ian Monahoyios says.

Jean-Sebastien Labonte- 950,000 (79 bb)
Sandy Lam- 450,000 (38 bb)
