Default Re: Whispering to a player\'s ear during a big hand

[ QUOTE ]
The guy playing the hand apparently did not ASK for the info, it was volunteered. What happens if his friend just shouts out loud from across the room "call him, I saw his cards, he's bluffing"? Heck... what happens if some spectator watching from the ropes during the WSOP does a "I saw Helmuth's cards...he has 32 offsuit!"

Obviously you throw the loudmouth person out. But has that person committed a crime? And the player who now has info he shouldn't... he didn't do anything wrong. Unless they conspired to do this, in which case they're both criminals, but that won't be so easy to prove. And given how clumsy these two were with this, they couldn't possibly have planned it.

Well the standard to apply to a throwing a player out should be less than that required for conviction of a crime.

I am a bit concerned, because the description of the events suggests that the player was cooperative in this, he didn't shoo his buddy away and then he claimed that his buddy was just asking for a loan (the description of the events suggest this may not be true)

And sometimes your choice of friends alone can get you ijn trouble.

you can't be killing hands transferring money on the "suspicion" you can kick players out on suspicion.

Yeah booting Player A and his friend seems fine. Still got to push him the pot though.
