Default Re: Weird tournament ruling at WPT Biloxi

Care to offer an opinion Randy? I think there are multiple viable solutions to that floor call. There is no perfect call in that spot. Especially when the representative of the casino (dealer) offers bad information to the caller.

There is no good solution in that spot. I can live with either letting him take the chips out or making him leave the chips in. How was the bet arranged. Since the dealer gave the wrong amount also I am guessing a high denomination chip wasn't easily visible. I think taking the call back if a high denomination chip is visible is fine; I am more inclined to say it remains a call if the player could have easily seen the amount of the bet. Also where were the players sitting? If it is a 30 year old with good eyesite sitting right next to the bettor I would be more inclined to make it a call and if it is an 80 year old at the opposite end of the table I would be more inclined to let him withdraw it. This is a situation where you really need to be there to make a good decision. It is also close enough that someone is going to be upset with the decision.
