An Ante Dispute

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

We happened upon two players in an argument over a T100 chip. One player was accusing the other of stealing his chip and called the floor. A supervisor made their way to the table and the player demanded that they review the tape to prove the other player stole the chip from his stack. The supervisor then called over APPT President Danny McDonagh, to address the situation.

After listening to the player in seat 8 accuse the player in seat 7 of stealing, McDonagh made the decision not to review the tape and asked the player in seat 8 to stop accusing players of stealing. The player kept insisting the tape be reviewed and McDonagh held firm on his decision.

The player then fiddled with his phone and spoke into the phone and said, "Just to confirm, I am asking you one more time to review the tape." McDonagh responded by saying he has the final word and he is not calling for a review of the tape. The player then alluded that he was letting the other player get away with stealing.

McDonagh became insistent that the verbiage and accusations against the other player stop or he would be asked to leave the tournament. At that time, some other players started talking to the player in Chinese. While what was said was unknown, it seemed as if they were trying to calm the player down. McDonagh said the discussion was now over and encouraged everyone to play poker.
