After contesting a pot recently with Thorsten Schafer, Justin Bonomo requested a ruling on whether or not players were allowed to wear headphones.
With tablemates Schafer and Gareth Teatum both wearing headphones, Bonomo requested the issue since he too wanted to wear them.
"I know we're in the money, but I just want to check" asked Bonomo to the Tournament Director.
No more then thirty seconds later, and announcement was made to the remaining field that - like every WSOP event - once players reach the money, headphones and electrical devices cannot be used at the table.
For Bonomo and the select few still bopping away to tunes or drowning out table talk will now have to handle the music-less and talk-heavy tables!
Marc Inizan opened under the gun to 4,000 and James Dempsey three-bet next to act to 10,200. Once the action returned to Inizan, he made the call before donking out 14,00 on the

Inizan: 
With Inizan in the lead, he would still need to fade any club, ace or running cards for trips or a straight. The

Dan Smith opened for 5,500 from the cutoff and was called by both Joseph Elpayaa and Jean Fracois Talbot. Action was on Gavin Smith in the big, who said, "We gonna have a family pot?," as he looked down at his hole cards.
Apparently not, as Smith then flung out a raise to 27,000. Everyone folded.
"I wasn't bull-shittin' guys," Gavin said as he slammed down 
face up.
Gavin is up to 172,000.
Justin Bonomo opened to 5,500 from under the gun and Thorsten Schafer made the call from the button.

for ace-high.
