So you have about 3M left? Yikes. But you can recover from that. Good luck.

According to PokerNews, there are 562 remaining in the O8. But that number hasn't changed in at least an hour on their site.

Play stopped at Table 40 moments ago, because a player noticed that a card was marked. It was a deuce - one of the more important cards in Omaha Hi-Low Split 8-or-Better. Players at the table then began sharing theories about a situation at another table in the Brasilia Room.
According to a player who identified himself as "Darren," Table 61, which is now broken, had to stop nine times earlier because of marked cards. To no surprise, the marked card was always a deuce. At one point, a floor person stayed at the table and examined all four cards from each player after they mucked. No one was caught to our knowledge, but the players at Table 40 are still talking about the issue.

Permalink to that story

[sajeffe]

Thanks for the permalink. I hope there's a way they can figure out who is doing it and punish them to the fullest extent of whatever. So disgusting.

So much about the WSOP is tightly controlled -- e.g. taking a photo, checking ID at the table -- that i wouldn't be surprised if they actually do keep records of players reseated at table breaks, although i didn't really notice anyone tracking this after they tossed us the reseat cards.

[sajeffe]

Surely they must have policies in place that would make cheating traceable. I mean, they've been doing tourneys for long enough to know cheaters show up. I hope we get more info about it, including who it was and what their punishment was.
