WSOP 2018 results/tournament discussion (**NO SPOILERS**) - Page 229 - Poker News

it's the poker player's job to protect his hand. it's the tournament director's job to enforce the rules.

the hand gets exposed to the player utg who is still an interested party in the hand and can try to influence the outcome with his reaction. it's easy to argue this will have near-zero impact on a world-class player like fedor, but there's a reason the rule is in place. it makes a lot of players uncomfortable knowing that someone who is still in the hand has information that you do not, even if he's already all-in. i would also extend this to players not in the hand, simply because no one likes to feel ganged up on at the table. there's just no room for this in poker, given that it's so incredibly easy to protect your hand. 100% salomon's fault and you're being ridiculous if you try to assign even 1% of the blame to jack.

fish makes fishy mistake in a $1,000,000 tournament and gets punished. that's the only headline here.

whaa???

horrible ruling.... Fedor maybe thinks he maybe saw maybe an red Ace maybe possibly maybe or maybe Kaverman maybe saw maybe a red card maybe..... and you make Salomon (who maybe raised his cards up a little too high turn) turn over and SHOW AN ACE while there's still action??!?!?! you must be friggin' kidding........

you gave Fedor sooooooooooooooooo much information that he didn't deserve...

in no world is making Salomon turn up his card before Fedor acts fair/good/smart/right............

angleist angley angling angle of all time..........

Every hand analysis Hellmuth does for this match is about shipping it in so that the player doesn't have to face a decision on the next street if an unfavorable card hits, and he considers almost every card unfavorable. It seems like he dreads having to make any decision at the table.

Ah, Bonomo is even more of a douche than I ever imagined, and I've watched a lot of him.
