Illegal Forward Pass

The floor was called over to a table near the PokeNews Live Reporting team and players are standing, voices raised, fingers pointing. We get over there to see what the controversy is.

One player was all in for slightly over 30,000 in chips on a ten-high flop and had called the floor because he believed his opponent had made a forward motion indicating a call.

"He was standing and moved his chips past the betting line. Go to the camera, you'll see."

His opponent insisted he did no such thing. "I was just holding them deciding what to do."

A couple players at the table said that he had pump faked, moving his hands back and forth, as if to try and get a read on the player via his motion. Tab Duchateau eventually ruled that it would be a call much to the disappointment of the pump faker.

He turned over for top pair and was behind the short stack's .

"One time," said our pump faker, obviously wanting to place a bad beat. It wouldn't happen though and he glared at his opponent. "I would never do that to you. Never!"

Things have settled down now but let that be a lesson for all of you poker players out there - there's no pump faking in poker.
