Tim Gets a Talking-To

[user25067]

Evidently, TD Thomas Kremser had a little chat with Tim Vance during the break, asking him to remain in his seat while he's in a hand.

"Hey, I'm in your house. I'll play by your rules," was Vance's reply.

Mistake Saves Danny's Chips

[user50492]

Daniel Ryan made it 40,000, which is a minimum raise, he had intended to raise more but did not put out enough chips and so was forced to make it the minimum.

Soren Hansen re-raised to 160,000 from the small blind. Danny folded and his mistake saved him a few chips in the end.
