On the verge of being eliminated from a tournament for a player who was not registered
Through Dusty’s blog ‘Leatherass9′ Schmidt we learned of another strange story in the WSOP caused by the mistake of a gambler. According to Schmidt has, a friend of his was on the verge of being eliminated from the tournament at the hands of a participant who was not registered in the event .
Everything happened as follows: After winning enough chips, mostly from Schmidt’s friend, the player in question said: “ It’s great to play a Shootout with only five people “.
Another ‘miss-seat’ more for the WSOP anecdoctario
However, the tournament was a Shootout, but a regular multi and so I did know the other members of the board, who immediately called a supervisor to verify what was happening. The error was similar to what happened to Amnon Filipi near the beginning of the WSOP: the dealer did not check the registration card of the player and it had taken its rightful place, just in a different tournament that had been registered .
When it seemed that the situation had clarified, Schmidt’s friend asked: “ What will happen to the chips you lost? Is it possible to lose files on a player who was not even registered for the tournament?” . After discussing the options, by the tournament director decided that the sheets had been lost in legal form and therefore could not be returned, which is not entirely happy to let a friend of Schmidt.
Another anecdote from the WSOP, whose organizers do not seem to be very careful .
