Also reported on pokernews updates now. Woman had more than starting stack when they passed her chips to her "partner".

lol the "someone else" was her husband that hadn't played in the event, it's not like she made day two and deliberately gave birth so she could get some ringer to take over her stack.

I believe rules are other player can't have played the event and only in extraordinary circumstances like this I'm actually ok with it I was in that field and don't feel disadvantaged

Edit: in case anyone is curious, the player in question was Katrina Sheary. Indeed, it was her husband who took over the stack. http://www.pokernews.com/live-report...ost.245459.htm. He ended up finishing 25th: http://www.pokernews.com/live-report...ips.134697.htm

^^ Got to make accommodations every now and then. Esp if you don't want to get all of the women upset.

Seriously? STOP THE PRESS.

How big of a nit do you have to be to make this thread? Yes let someone else play her stack like wtf. You think she's angling this event from 9 months ago specifically so her partner can take over? Get over yourself.

She entered the tournament knowing full well that she is expecting. Knowing the risk, she still chose to play the tournament so why should she be able to get someone else to take over her chips?
