Well, WSOP schedule is officially out. Maybe we can lock down a date now??  :)

Floor is called before the showdown? Or before the turn?

If before the showdown, that implies the incorrect action was accepted before the turn was shown. In that case, too late.

If before the turn, why did D act  rather than object when the incorrect action was back to him?

I think the players who acted accepted the incorrect action.

Therefore, in all cases, too late. Go to the showdown.

Hello everybody.
I'd like to have some point of view in this ruling.

MTT

Flop:
Player A bet 60.000
Player B raise all-in 73.000
Player C Call
Player D Call

Back to Player A push All-in 150.000 instead the raise it's not possible.

Player C Raises all in 400.000
Player D tanking and raises all-in for 550k
Everybody call and then player D says "there is a mistake in re-opening the bet" and he calls the floorman before the showdown.

Detail: Player C says "we had a lot af action, go to showdown" (revealing Angle-shooting intention, a strong hand and avoiding to speak up seeing mistake)

Three weeks? Wow. I'm lucky if I can squeeze in 5 nights!

As I understand it, the most likely dates are 6/27-6/28 or 7/4-7/5.

So you've got it covered. 👍

I agree that there is no case where player B would have to show his hand before player A makes a decision on calling or folding his hand.
I agree with player B having to show his hand after all action is over (Show one, show all in tourney) and getting a penalty.  But I am not sure why player C got a penalty, he is an unwilling participant who saw the hand that was shown to him.  Unless he asked to see the hand, or their were fear of collusion I am not sure I would have penalized C.  But as any decision it is based on the situation and you must have felt it was worth a penalty for C as well.

Thanks for sharing, same ruling here if I see that !

I gave them both one round of penalty (so both missing 10 hands and loosing SB+BB+Ante). I only gave them one round because they were very respectful of my decision and understanding the gravity of their acts. I reserve extra rounds for players who react aggressively or rudely to my decisions. This to make them understand that with every reaction and every word, they always have something to lose.

I'm curious to know what the penalty was, but I think you handled it perfectly.

Hello,

There are two players left on the turn (A and B).
Player A bets on the turn.
Player B shows his hand to Player C (who is no longer in the hand but had asked to see it).
Then Player B goes all in.
Player A calls the floor and asks to see the hand before reacting to the all-in bet!

> I explained to Player A that B and C would be heavily penalized after the hand and that B would have to show his hand after the hand no matter what, BUT that at the time, B's hand would remain hidden until he decided whether or not to call the all-in bet!

> I should point out that, as far as everyone at the table was concerned, C had no particular reaction after seeing B's hand. What do you think of my decision?
