Poor guy....you can tell he is really frustrated. Of course I would be if I was in the same situation.

This is from the 2-7 lowball triple draw rebuy event.

Why not just come 2 hours late and be in the same position as everyone else?

Why show up so late to a tournament. You can't win if your not there. Also, how did he lose so much in when he said he was only like five minuets late?

he said he showed up 5 minutes to go in 1st round so it all depends how long there blind levels are. Im guessing they are 20 minute levels so that would be 15 minutes late, in rebuy hands are played very fast so very easy could lose that much.

LOL. Oh storms...buddy...all wsop levels are 60 minutes. Some modified exceptions are the HORSE and Mixed game tourneys where the "game" changes every 30 minutes, but the actual blinds/levels increase every 60.

So Danny boy was 55 minutes late, boo hoo. If Berry knew about the TDA rule and Daniel did not, good for Berry. Plus I guess being a former World Champ carries alittle more clout then being just a 3 time bracelet winner. hehe.

I totally agree with Daniel, a total BS rule and some changes have to be made.

It is a stupid rule but if that's the way it's in the books this year...so be it. You can't go changing rules on the fly.

Daniel is on the committee that sets the rules. He or someone should have flagged this before. Regardless, he'll get it changed now.

Sucks for him and I can see why he's pissed but rules is rules no matter how stupid they are.
