YouTube- Estelle Denis vs JC Tran Shocking WSOP Ruling or Not - WorldPokerExpress.com

I honestly wouldn't know what I would do to a dealer. I might've meet him outside in the parking lot and beat him down till he coughs up my buy-in for the main event. I can't believe WSOP tolerates this b.s. I'm honestly considering about getting a good-looking card protector. Usually, I used casino chip as my card protector but when I'm all-in, I have to use that chip as well. I feel bad for Estelle Denis.

****tard dealer, but who doesnt hold onto their AA for dear life until they get to flip it over an say booya mutha fooker i got you.

Her own fault. Protect your cards kids.

I get the feeling that the dealer is new and it didn't seem like he was paying attention to what was going on.

That is a tough to recover from. Anyone know how she finished up. Pocket aces in muck with a all in. Wow, you think the dealer heard this later "hey you got a minute"!

that sucks big time!
very attractive woman though, love the French accent!

This, especially when you are right next to the mucked cards.

That's horrible. She shouldn't really need to protect her cards because she was all in. The dealer just took her cards and put it in the muck. I felt that the floor staff could of done better to assist her. If they're in a casino, then the cameras should be able to see what happened from a much better angle. If she called her hand perfectly and that's what's under the muck, then she should be able to play her hand. What a horrible accident.

lol it took her way too long to realise what was going on. I would of grabbed his arm before he had a chance to muck the aces... very unfortunate tho

lol after watching it again the dealer is such a noob! must of been his first day since his supervisor was there from the start. I can't beleive the dealer gave her attitude about not having a card protector.

Imagine this happening to hellmuth or mike the mouth lol

I'd make fun of her but I've had this happen to me

Strong arguement for a card protecter with some weight and sharp edges.

that is when u punch the dealer in the face and if people try to pull u off u start kicking him make sure u get your moneys worth

Buzz. WRONG. You must protect your hand at all times. This is a cardinal rule that anyone in a live casino should be following. And especially at the WSOP.

Not always. I supposed they could have gone to the eye in the sky and see if it saw anything, but I doubt it. Especially since they are above and most people don't look at their cards and wave them around.

Yes, but don't feel too bad for her. She cashed and did ok for herself.

I think she was trying to pull off an act like she didn't care about her hand much (holding pocket aces).. Apparently she fooled the dealer as well.. lol.

Thats really bad, but just shows how important it is to protect your cards.

i just watched this again, she is a retard, her cards are alomost in the much before the dealer grabs them lol. Who just leaves way out there in the middle of the table?

really old video, but def her own fault. She left her cards out in the table AND who knows..maybe she actually had 22 or AK..easy to say "i had aces"...if she had aces i would think she would be a little more upset than how she reacted

Old news:

Dealer Mucks All In Hand At WSOP

Cliff notes:

- Yes it was a dealer error
- Get over yourselves with the macho beating the guy up in the car park stuff, mistakes happen
- The floor people made the right decision

See the link above for a more detailed discussion.

nice link ozz..i knew this was an OLDDDD story just wasn sure exactly what the other thread was called.

Watch that video again. Her cards were not near the muck. I agree she needs a card protector but the dealer had to reach around her stack of chips in the middle of the table to muck another opponents cards. Then he reached back for hers. Combination of no card protector and inexperienced dealer. IMO

Ridiculous, but too bad for her......I dont think she had a very good hand anyway and just claimed aces so maybe she could get something out of it....true hustler

While inexperience is a possible explanation I'd say it's more likely to be a very tired dealer. Remember this is the business end of the Main Event and the WSOP has been running for a solid month before the Main Event even started. Most of these dealers have been working long days for a long time by this point and trust me it can be a challenge not to let one hand just blur into the next.

That's offered as an explanation, not an excuse, BTW.

I guess you can never trust a dealer to be perfect.

Here's one from my experience:

Circus Circus Reno 1/2 NL. After about 30 hands, I was feeling a little under the weather. I had more than doubled up my buy-in and figured I'd let the dealer color me out so he could keep the low chips at the table. So he colors me up to all $5 chips and I leave my stacks in from of me but still tucked to the edge while I gather my stuff to leave, though I am still in my chair. So he deals the next hand and deals me in. The cards land in front of me as I grab my chips to take to the cashier. I say "I'm out" and he says "Oh, you didn't say that before. Then I'll have to redeal." So a couple guys groan and I bite my lip as I walk away (really? Stick was quiet?).

So if I was still playing, why would I get rid of all my $1 chips when the blinds are $1 & $2? I think he had a brain fart and tried to make it look like my fault.

So again, never trust a dealer to be perfect.

I was considering buying a card guard on ebay..I think thats just confirmed it.

Probably lucky it wasn't a bloke or the dealer would have gotten a slap

Heard the same story from a guy who was playing at his local casino. He had his hands in his head for some reason and the dealer just took his cards. Sad. I probably would've smashed the dealer if he did that to me.

LOL @ the macho "I'd have smashed the dealer" nonsense.

I assume none of you ever make mistakes in your job ever and when you do you'd gladly accept a smack in the chops in return?

The cards were right in front of her the dealer should have never reached for her cards when they were there. That was his mistake I would have demanded to get my cards back. Her cards were under the 2 that they picked up. I would have punched the guy right there. Bet he would be more carefull next time he went to grab cards.

Wow!! If it was one of the pros they wold have done better by them....i dont think then floor supervisor believed her....

I saw that on TV as well. I woulda cussed every person at that casino that had anything to do with it and beat that dealer till he turned white and grew some hair LMAO a 10k buy in and a dealer that dont know what the hell he is doing. He should be fired on the spot!!!!!

i saw this televised but didn't see the very beginning. it should be her fault for not protecting her cards. but then again what was the dealer on shouldn't he be paying attention. i'm sure that cast him his job if anything.
she just sat away and her body language indicated she had no interest or involvement in the hand should i say---WRONG!! if she had the rockets those cards shouldn't leave her sight, hands. she defininately needs a card protecter.
and then need i mention, the fact that those aces weren't on top of the cards where they should've been.
this is something i never witnessed before, guess there's a first time for everthing. gl and peace.

Very tough to take but a lesson to all to protect their cards.

JC Tran greased the dealer's palms.

everyone makes mistakes but at the end of the day hold your cards close. her cards are very close to the muck so a bit of a accident on bother parts to be honest.
