Level 9
: 300/600, 75 ante
The WSOP staff is particularly strict about giving penalties for prematurely exposed cards, and we've seen several players taking an orbit off already today. The latest victim was Michael Traylor, and he was none too thrilled about it.
"That's the stupidest rule," he said. "Ever." The tournament director was within earshot of our conversation as Traylor told us what happened. Apparently, he was simply trying to muck his hand when the player next to him stuck his arm out in the path of the fold. Traylor's cards flipped over, and he was given a one-round penalty without a chance to explain himself. The tournament director quickly pacified Traylor and overturned the penalty.
