An Early Argument

Table 19 in the orange section of the Amazon Room sits just beneath the media bullpen, and was the site of a heated argument and accusations of chip-dumping involving two English-speaking players from overseas. The argument involved the folding of a sizeable pot to a small reraise and drew the attention of a nearby tournament director, who sorted out the argument and passed warnings all around, but took no other action as he walked away, shaking his head.

The table's dealer was among those suspicious of the play, asking the TD, "So are you doing anything about that?"

The answer in this case was no, but the table is being carefully watched.
