Controversy on Table 8
After three previous reports of marked cards from Table 8, Andrew Scott again called for the floor.
The issue was regarding yet another marked card that was found in the deck.
“Whoever’s marking the cards, can you please stop?” said Scott, upset at what he saw.
“Stop slowing the game,” he added.
“I bet if I look through the deck I’ll find some more marked ones!”
Scott then picked up the deck, and started looking through the initial cards.
“Here’s one, and here’s another. That’s four right there,” he pleaded.
Tournament Director Danny McDonagh was then called over to make a ruling, and had no option but to call upstairs for a review via the cameras above the table.
After that, McDonagh asked each player to show their hands so he could personally study each players nails.
The review of the tape is not yet complete. We will update you with any information as it comes available and we’ll be keeping our eyes on Table 8.
