How to burn $10,000...

Someone at the WSOP main event was apparently asked to move tables, stood up, put his chips in his pocket and was promptly disqualified from the tourney...

Now thats a mistake he'll never forget.

Someone else had pocket Tens in their first hand of the main event, the flop came TAA, giving them a full house, only to bust out because their opponent had AT, giving them a better full house... it's the kind of situation where you're going to lose a lot of chips, but it's got to hurt to lose all your chips in your first hand to a monster v monster hand like that...

Not sure if this happened again this year, but last year this was the very first hand that Oliver Hudson(son of Goldie Hawn) went out to against pro Sam Farha. Both checked the flop, Hudson bet the turn, Farha raised then Hudson pushed all in. Farha called instantly.
How gutted must you be to go out like that first hand!

From DesertLady's excellent thread on the WSOP when you move tables, you are provided with a chip rack, as any chips that go into the pocket can be used for chip-dumping, or counterfeiting. Any chips that are put into a person's pocket are no longer in use, so the person involved could still continue to play with any chips he was carrying in his hand. Unfortunately he put all his chips in his pocket.........

yeah I checked on cardplayer site and read about that. Sucks not to read the rules before the tourament starts. That is actually one thing that many pros will tell you when you first start to play tournaments because the rules vary slightly from casino to casino.

If I was him, I would get a copy of the rules and read them on the way to Las Vegas to prevent mistakes like this from happening. If you are investing $10,000 of your money, you better be sure you know what you;re doing at all times.

The rules are fairly clear, and while it's got to be heart-breaking if you manage to make that mistake, you've only yourself to blame... wonder whether the guy then proceeded to lose more money by tilting in side games? You could easily imagine that happening - you've just made a stupid mistake that cost you $10K, and you play a side game to take your mind off it, but you're steaming so you're not playing your best...
And yeah, it was last year's main even I was thinking of... just one of those Main Event crushing blows... PokerPlayer magazine has a rundown on their top 10 hands from the 2005 main event, and they ranked that Sam Farha vs Oliver Hudson hand 2nd...

I'm sorry, but if you're going to make a mistake such as putting your chips in your pockets when changing tables, you didn't deserve to play in the tournament to begin with.

I dont know if this comment was really necessary wsorbust. There are alot of newer players to holdem and especially more that have never played in a B&M cardroom. With the boom of online poker many players have never played except for on thier computers. Now I dont know if he had been one of these types of players, but if he was and he won a seat to the WSOP online I bet he doesnt know half the rules that the tournament holds and that is an honest mistake on his part that cost him the tournament. I will tell you honestly that I didnt know about this rule about not being able to carry chips in your pocket while moving tables. Does this mean that I'm not worthy enough to play in one of these big tournaments? Hope you dont take offense, but that is a strong statement!

I'm not offended. It's just that you're wrong.

Then what are they doing playing in the event!?..Not to mention THE MAIN EVENT. You've justified my comments very well. Thank you. I don't think I really have to clarify how unsuitable your comments are in backing up your opinion, most of all, calling out my statement. I hope you're not offended either...but, not necessary? That was my opinion. . .it's apparent that a few people above agree.

If you can put up the cash or win your way to the tournament, then you deserve to play whether all the rules are clear to you or not. So he wasnt prepared. Thats his fault. Now if you read others posts then you would see that they never say that he doesnt deserve to play, but it was a awful thing to happen. It seems that you think you are better than this person somehow with the statement you made as well. What makes you deserve to play in the WSOP main event?

I'm going to apologize right here. ~I'm Sincerely Sorry.~


I realize you're interpretation of "deserving to play" is far different than mine and apologize for possibly taking it way out of proportion because of misinterpreting your post. I stand by my statements, although it might seem harsh by some. I can see your point. No hard feelings.

I think there is a lesson in this for everyone, sometimes we get excited or pissed and just do things when were not thinking. Its happened to me, even when i know better. $10,000 in my dreams!!! alot of pressure.

I dont think (hope) anyone got "excited" or "pissed", we were just conversing. Sometimes the internet is tough like that because Al Gore invented it. Hopefully this thread was helpful to the members in pointing out to READ THE RULES when playing in a $10k buy-in! or in any tournament for that matter.

That and it's a series of tubes...that get clogged with massive amounts of material...massive amounts of material.

But I do feel bad for the guy--although why he didn't use the chip rack provided is beyond me. Unless he was hopelessly short-stacked anyway, in which case he probably wouldn't have lasted long anyhow.

This incident of the player putting his Chips in his pockets because he was not aware of the rules boils down to what t1riel said.

He must read the rules prior to the tourny

"Fail to prepare - Prepare to Fail" is so very apt here

I'm with wsorbust on this one, if you're playing an event with a buy-in of $10,000 and a possible payout of $10million you're gonna scrutinise those rules with a fine tooth comb(?), all the way down to what the dress code is(if any!)
