Eight Hundred or One-Thousand?
Level 5
: 200/400, 100 ante
There was a bit of an altercation at table 365 to start the level. The issue was over using the blue t500 chips to bet. The argument was that by throwing in two t500 chips the raise should be to 1,000. In fact, David Williams and Jason Mercier both took this side in a bet with David Peat, who argued that it should be 800 as that is the bring in.
The floor was called and despite the entire table disagreeing with the ruling, it was ruled that two t500 chips meant 800 and thus just a call. According to the tournament supervisor this issue was discussed prior to the tournament and despite rulings in other tournaments, this is how it would be for this tournament.
