First Warning Issued

Samang Mech was just issued a warning by tournament supervisor Bill Bruce. Mech was one of five players to see the river on a board {4-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}. Action checked around until the river. On the river, the button fired out a bet of 2,000. Mech, thinking that the button had checked, turned over his hand, {A-Hearts} {7-Spades}. Action folded to a player in late position, who called with {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}.

"Good call," said the button. "I missed." He mucked.

After the hand, the dealer summoned Bruce to the table and explained the situation. Bruce ruled that because Mech's actions were an "accident" (Bruce used finger quotes), he would be given only a warning. However, the next such incident will result in a two-round penalty.
