Wasserson Forced to Fold

NL 2-7 Single Draw

Richard Ashby raised to 250 in first position, Kevin MacPhee called, and the action folded to Eric Wasserson, who three-bet to 1,200 from the big blind. Ashby called, and MacPhee released.

Wasserson patted, Ashby drew one, and Wasserson quickly checked. Ashby thought for a bit then tossed out six purple T500 chips, betting 3,000. Wasserson's eyebrows raised, and he let out a big sigh. After tanking for the better part of a minute, he released, and Ashby raked in the pot.

The Phantom Hand Motion

Level 3

When we reached the table, the board had already been completed {k-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{q-Spades}{4-Spades}. George Danzer prematurely exposed his hand, but that's because Ognjen Sekularac evidently made a checking motion.

The game was Omaha Split 8-or-Better, and Sekularac wanted to know how much he had already bet. The dealer isn't supposed to pull the bets in during a heads-up pot - in case it's chopped - and Sekularac had two purple T500 chips in front. When Sekularac moved his hand to the felt however, Danzer read this as a check, and tabled his hand. The floor was called over, and they ruled it a check.

"What kind of funny ruling is this?" Sekularac asked.

Danzer was sympathetic towards Sekularac, but he would have none of it.

"Would you've checked with my hand?" he shot at Danzer.

"Obviously not," Danzer responded. "But you have to realize how that looked to me."

The issue dissipated fairly quickly, as the round of O8 continued.
