Playing the 30/30 yesterday this hand happened in the first 5 mins
hand gets to the river with me missing my draw heads up against 1 player (having failed to bet him of it on the turn)
Anyway he bets out 1.2 k i raise to 3.6k (have 8 high) (but the river card is dangerous looking and he looks like a tight player) . He then trows his cards towards the dealer face down (without calling).
Then he decided to show what looks a great fold with a set of queens (he never played with me before of course) and i couldn't resist showing the 8 high, and start to stack the chips. He stared complaining that he didn't know there was a raise and says he would have called and blames the dealer.
They call the floor (an experienced floor person that works for larry) and unbelievably they rule he wins the pot and i have to give the chips back. I complained like feck and made it pretty obvious that i was fairly sure this ruling had to be wrong , mainly because he never called.
I asked another experienced tournament director last night and he says its definitely a wrong ruling.
I mean it doesn't matter in the scheme of things its an €80 tourney in the early levels. Still it looks like rewarding the angel shooter.
