Saab Penalized

The pot was heads up on the river, contested between David Saab and Julian Powell. Powell check-called a bet from Saab on the flop; both players checked the turn. On the river, Powell checked again, prompting Saab to bet. Powell, seated right beside Saab, picked up his cards and glanced at them. Saab took a peek at Powell's cards and laughed.

Powell tanked over his decision for about a minute, while Saab continued to laugh.

"Dave, that's really bad mate," said Powell. "I might have wanted to re-bluff you!" He took another minute to think about his hand, then added, "No, it's really not right. I'm going to have to call a penalty on you."

Saab agreed that he was in the wrong, although he stressed it had not been done maliciously. Nevertheless, tournament staff were summoned to the table and assessed a two-orbit penalty against Saab after Powell folded his hand.

"I think I've received move penalties than anyone in the history of Crown," Saab said from the rail.
