A Decision Has Been Made

The situation we mentioned a few posts ago between Raul Lopez and Christiane Klecz has been ruled upon. WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack was called to the table and both Lopez and Klecz were asked how many chips they had before the hand, as well as how many chips of each denomination they had.

The blinds and antes that were paid before the hand were separated out, and when they re-created Klecz's stack from how many of each denomination of chip she said she had it matched with the total amount she said she had before the hand. Lopez's estimated stack did not correspond with the number of chips he said he held, and it was thus determined that Klecz did indeed have Lopez covered, and he was officially eliminated. Lopez still wanted to discuss the issue with the floor (which was of course difficult because he doesn't speak much English) and he was taken aside to continue the conversation.

Caught in the middle of all this were the other players at the table, who had to sit there for 20 minutes while this was sorted out. So it has been decided that they will be able to continue playing at the current blind level during our 20-minute break.
