I've been watching the action on table 7 for the last 15 minutes or so and a couple of hands of note have taken place.
In the first, Sunny Chattha has raised in mid position to 32.5k. Tony Dobson on the button asks how much Sunny has behind, and is told 'around 140k'. Meanwhile,
Andreas Hagen in the big blind asks the TD who is standing next to him whether, if he gets up to fetch his beer, his hand will be folded. The TD helpfully points out that his beer is right next to him 'Oh. That's great' declares Hagen, taking a swig. Dobson passes and, Hagen then looks at his cards and is deciding whether to call to Chatta's raise. Tony says 'you said you were going to fold' and asks the TD if that is binding. Hagen protests that he didn't, he merely asked if his hand would be folded if he left the table. The TD confirms that he didn't say he was going to fold. Dobson asks for confirmation that if he
had said it, it would be binding, and the TD confirmed that it would. Hagen said that he had been going to call, but was now going to pass as he feels the hand has been somewhat tainted. No hard feelings though, and he and Tony shake hands and we move on to the next hand without further comment.
Very next hand and Julien Legros raises to 31k in mid position, flat called by Dobson in the cut off. The rest pass and Legros bets 47k on the
flop. Dobson goes into the tank for a bit before announcing 'all in', and Legros calls. Legros:
Dobson:
. The
on the river seals the deal for Legros, and he doubles up to over 400k
