The 888poker shot clock was used for the first time at an Aspers tournament in the High Roller over the previous two days without any problems. It took a little getting used to, especially for the dealers who have the task of keeping an eye on the timer and controlling the action.
Today though there have been a few table rulings by the floor as the concept beds in. On one table a player was unaware that the time had run out and his hand was declared dead. The dealers do usually announce when there is 10 seconds left to act but the ultimate responsibility rests with the player. They also have two 60-second time bank chips to use.
On another table a player acted out of turn and claimed that the pressure of the timer ticking down had confused him into making a hasty bet before the action was on his.
Overall the feedback from the majority of players has been positive but with one or two kinks to iron out.

The journey of 64-year-old John Hesp became the biggest story of the World Series of Poker Main Event this summer.

That list could go on and on about this player from Bridlington, U.K.
