Re: Ruling - How many chips in play?
[ QUOTE ]
The dealer should be making an effort to prevent this kind of thing.

What should he do? Drop the deck, get up, abandon his tray of chips, run around the table, and tackle the offending player?
I'll lay 10-to-1 that Player A knew that he shouldn't be doing what he's doing while he's in a hand, yet he did it. It staggers me that someone could think the dealer was even partly culpable in this one.
We got Player B moving all-in. We got a player to B's left also pushing in. Meanwhile, A is sitting to B's right, possibly at the far end of the table, away from the current action. You can't understand how the dealer's attention might be diverted away from Player A for the moment?
Just another example of the impossibly unrealistic expectations that most B&M posters have of dealers.
