I worked for pokernews this summer and Rob Huxley's post has me literally laughing out loud on so many levels.

More Chipping Up By Michelle
The player under the gun opened with a raise to 1,500. Torgier Homme called from early position, and action passed around to Tiffany Michelle in the small blind. She put in a reraise, making it 15,000 to play. The original raiser folded, but Homme came along.
Heads up, the flop came down {10-
} {8-
} {5-}, and both players checked. The turn brought the {4-
}. Michelle checked, Homme bet 5,000, Michelle raised to 10,000, and Homme called.
Fifth street was the {J-}. Michelle asked Homme, "Will you call 15 or 20?" He said nothing, and Michelle bet out 20,000. Homme tanked for about three minutes before making the call.
Michelle flipped over {K-} {J-}, and Homme mucked his hand. Hers was the winner, and she has moved up to right arond the 100,000-chip mark.

Does that look like the kind of thing that a tournament director is supposed to be saying? Does that statement not pretty clearly express a preference of one participant to win over others?
Suppose Tiffany has a penalty overruled like Hellmuth did. How would that look now that the tournament coordinator is in the public media stating that he wants Tiffany to win?
I know I can never ask for a tournament director to be impartial as long as a woman is still in the tournament, but at least he or she should be refraining from expressing that bias as a matter of public record.
