Default Re: WSOP Rules: Show One & Backing

What is up with rule #84 (in the OP)? It seems like a bad/novice interpretation of the phrase; 'Show one, show all'. That phrase means that if you show one player at the table your cards then you must show all players at the table. It never, ever meant; 'Show one card, show all cards'.

Some other ones I found...interesting:

65. There is no cap on the number of raises in no-limit games. A raise must be at least the size of the previous raise. In limit events, there will be a limit of one bet and four raises even when heads up until the tournament is down to two players. Once the tournament becomes heads-up, the rule does not apply. There may be unlimited raises at the heads-up level.

Pretty much guaranteed somebody is going to think that since the hand is HU that there are unlimited raises.


From #64: Players going from a broken table to fill in seats assume the rights and responsibilities of the position. They can get the big blind, the small blind or the button. The only place they cannot get a hand is between the small blind and the button.

I don't recall ever getting moved to the button...is this standard?


55. There will be no foreign objects on the table except for a maximum of one card cap. Card caps can be no larger than two (2) inches in diameter and no more than one-half (1/2) inch in depth.

Doesn't that eliminate Fossilman's fossil?
