Raise And Leave...

An interesting situation happened on table 9. Morten Lassen raised preflop from late position and then actually left the table as the big blind called! He was chatting to a friend a few feet away but was no longer sitting at the table. Thomas Kremser came by after a clarification was asked for by the big blind. Lassen's hand was declared dead just as he was coming back.

"Come on, I was just standing there talking to my friend!"

"I'm sorry, sir. Your hand is dead. You cannot leave the table while in a hand, I'm afraid," replied the tall and immaculately dressed Kremser.

"Ok, ok, I'm sorry, I don't really play much tournament poker," said Lassen.
