Collusion Penalty
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
An interesting situation has just been brought to our attention involving suspected collusion between two players.
We don't have a lot of detail, other than it appears that a player checked behind the nuts on the river.
The floor was called and a penalty was issued. Initially there was confusion as the floor staff indicated that both players would receive a penalty which triggered an argument from the table, most notably Ronnie Bardah, as they couldn't understand why the player out of position was copping a penalty for merely checking his hand.
Floor staff then discussed it further and the out-of-position player was spared, leaving the "nut checker" to sit out an orbit.
