A Severe Penalty - This hardly seems a fair outcome.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but since it happened at 'Event 12 - $1,500 No Limit Holdem 6 Handed' this seems an appropriate place.
How is this an even remotely fair outcome if the dealer of the broken table confirmed he had ~8000 in chips. as reported ... A Severe Penalty ---------------- A table is broken and players disperse to their new seating assignments. An inexperienced player arrives at his new table with about 700 in chips in his hand, puts them on the table, and reaches into his pocket for the rest of his chips (approximately 7000). The players erupt, saying "You can't put chips in your pocket!" The floor is called over and dealers on both tables are consulted as to what happened. The dealer on the table that was broken confirms he had approximately 8000. A penalty is warranted, and they rule that the 700 he put on the table will remain in play, but that the chips he put in his pocket will be forfeited.

It sucks extremely bad. But they usually scream those rules out for everyone to hear. Then repeat them when they move everyone from a table. There's nothign that could really be done.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, it seems like it's always made clear when the table breaks. I think one time, I threw my coat over my rack when I was changing tables, and the TD assistant immediately told me to uncover them, which I did (no penalty). I can imagine that this kid either moved the chips to his pocket when he was between tables, or he had earphones on and never heard the instructions. Still, it's his responsibility to know the rules that are publicly announced. -Z

Re: A Severe Penalty - This hardly seems a fair outcome.
Proof that so many players have no idea, even at the WSOP. I've played $50 tourneys at my local and even I know all chips must always remain in sight eg. no pocketing.
Penalty is warranted. People should learn the rules, eg. TDA would be a good place to start.

Just shows how bad poker players are erupting at this poor kid. Yeah he did something wrong, but if i was at the table i would let it slide if the kid was nervous and stuff.

Re: A Severe Penalty - This hardly seems a fair outcome.
I thought the penalty was automatic DQ... Not chip in pocket, chip dead...
Didn't somebody get DQ'd from the main event last year for putting a chip in his pocket?

Re: A Severe Penalty - This hardly seems a fair outcome.
Third year in a row something like this has happened,
2 years ago chips went to bathroom last year dude pockets them nothing new at least 1 noob a year does it. (should have been a betting line as to the 1st event and chip level it would occur at. Losing the chips are bad enough, but now he can't even keep the ones in his pockets as souvenirs.

There is nothing unfair here. The guy broke a set-in-stone rule. His ignorance of it is irrelevant.
