WPT should be sued

[fourkingbs]

Yesterday Ted Forrester won the Bay 101 WPT event. Then they were down to headsup JJ Liu who is very pregnant, started to have pains. She looks down and sees blood everywhere. Dan Alspach asked the WPT to stop the event, but they wouldn't and said if JJ left she would be disqualified. How sick is that.
So, she goes to the bathroom, cleans up and then comes back to play. She then went to hospital immediately after the tournament apparently.

No clue if this is true, but...

Sounds like she should be prosecuted.

yeah, actually my friend is friends with jj liu, and said she was in really horrible condition.

i'm not sure what the reasoning behind this WPT event was. how difficult is it to postpone a friday event...to saturday? wtf? retarded.

given what my friend said, i really think she should have just pushed every hand PF, especially with her health 1.5-1 chip stack over forrest. if she's too sick to play, just get lucky once.

So the dude that won should stick around an extra day because some chick that could drop any day decided to play a poker tournament?

also, while they're at it, they should sue those bastards for holding a monopoly.

Chicks who are very pregnant shouldn't play in multi-day high-stakes poker events. Isn't that stunningly obvious? If it wasn't obvious before the tourney, it should be by now. And the WPT nor Ted Forrest are responsible for her physical well-being. She made the decision to take that risk. What's shocking isn't that WPT didn't postpone the event--what's shocking is that a poker player would risk her health and the life of the fetus to continue playing poker.

bav, 100% agreed.

i would love to see OPs rational reasoning to take the womans side.
