Rampage firing for up to 500k tonight on HCL. He sold a chunk, maybe a third? …
HIs run has been really entertaining to watch.

He lost 100k
Gotta spend money to make money
Apparently Diet Coke iykwim.
Not sure how this should have been handled once the mistake was made and play continued for more hands. Also can’t believe no one else at the table noticed (or maybe they did and were just fine letting the guy be mistakenly eliminated in 6th).

Slowrolled him for 30 seconds then laughed and shook his hand afterwards. What a sick move.
Eh, anyone whose played a moderate amount of live poker has seen a dealer misread hands and try to ship the pot the wrong way, and it would not surprise me if it’s gone unnoticed in games I’ve been in.
The WSOP should be better but the dude conceded the pot and walked away and play resumed. Thems the breaks.
Ya it’s up to players in the end not the dealer.
I had at least 3 hands i remember last year correcting a pushed pot at showdown and i only pay attention to like 2/3rd of showdowns in a live game.
“We are aware of the situation in which the board was misread and a pot was awarded to the wrong player, eliminating someone in 6th place. While we expect better from our dealers and tournament directors, since play continued on without anyone including the players at the table acknowledging the error, there is no remedy we can offer at this time. We will work to ensure that this does not happen in future events.”
There, feel free to use that instead of the lol cover-up they are engaging in.

Statute of limitations for protesting a dealer error is usually the start of the next hand.
Cash game so way different but I was playing limit Omaha/8 in a CA card room. I scooped a big pot where all hands were tabled. 4 or 5 hands later a guy says “ I should have gotten 1/4.” He calls the floor over. Floor says he will look at tape he came back 10 min or so later and says the player was correct. Floor then tries to recreate the action and takes the amount he thinks is correct of my stack.
Yeah in cash games and especially limit ones where stack sizes are rarely a factor in the play of a hand you can sort of do that. But in a tourney where so many decisions are based on ICM that the very next decision by the UTG player was likely impacted so it isn’t really right to mess with stacks after further action has occurred. The only possible options is to reset the entire tournament to when that pot took place, which quickly becomes impossible even at a televised table.
The few times this happened when I was dealing we would just pay it from the poker bank. This was mostly 4-8 limit so the damage wasn’t too great.
I’ve never seen a pot get pushed in the wrong direction in NL cash where players didn’t catch it almost immediately. Then the player who won the pot has to obligatory rib the dealer the whole down and possibly for the next week bc live players are annoying.

I read he played a pretty straightforward style and didn’t get out of line often.
