Here's the latest:
Jack Effel wants to investigate whether or not the player in question was using his phone for text messaging purposes; Singer believes that fact is irrelevant.
Here is the official cellphone policy, as stated in the 2007 WSOP rulebook:
"82. Cell Phone Rule: A player who wants to use a cellular phone must step away from the table. Any player on the cell phone or texting a messaging when the dealer delivers the first card from the deck will have a dead hand. No cell phones can be placed on a poker table."
Singer, who is a lawyer by profession, has requested a refund from tournament staff and is seeking the opportunity to play in one of the remaining Day 1's. We're also told that he intends to speak with the gaming commission about the situation.
PokerNews has conducted a video interview with Singer regarding the controversy and it will be available for viewing momentarily. Stay tuned.
