Seniors Playing Their Cards Faceup
![[user197301]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
We have seen some strange occurrences during the course of this Seniors Championship, but seeing some competitors playing their hands faceup takes the cake.
On no less than three separate occasions, we have passed by a table to see a player with their cards faceup on the felt and the action on them. While all three incidents involved different players, the common thread in each hand was a player in the big blind failing to notice another player limping in.
After seeing the action fold around, these players have looked down to find premium holdings, and each time they have turned them faceup to show the table their bad luck. However, with an unseen limper already in the pot, these players have been allowed to retain their big blind option with the action still pending.
In the last case we witnessed, a man had his 
faceup with the under-the-gun player having already called. The floor was called and it was determined that the man with kings could still act on his hand. He immediately shoved all-in and his opponent mucked. The player was then forced to sit out for a round as a penalty for exposing his cards prematurely.
With Day 2 winding down deep into the night, we expect more of these mental mishaps to take place as the seniors struggle to maintain their focus following nearly 10 hours of intense play.
