Headphone Problems
During this year's WSOP we have heard of numerous situations where players' use of headphone's, especially the noise-cancelling ones, are causing problems.
Well a player on table 40 just found out how detrimental they can be.
In the big blind in seat one he saw a series of players limp, but missed the small blind, in seat 10, raise to 3,000. The dealer clearly announced the raise but the big blind could not hear him because of his headphones.
He moved all his chips in with A-10 and was called by the small blind who was holding queens.
He didn't improve, and after the hand admitted he didn't even know the small blind was in the hand.

I understand if it's your daily MTT grind, but wtf would you go to the WSOP ME and listen to music on your noise cancelling headphones, unless a $10k buyin was totally inconsequential to you?
