Think you could wear the suit and make the tough calls? In the heat of the WSOP, tournament directors can change the course of a player’s entire summer.

But they're there to enforce the WSOP rules. We've all heard of some crazy rulings and penalties, but here we’ve pulled six scenarios based on the official WSOP rulebook to see if you've got what it takes to be a WSOP tournament director.

Chance Kornuth made it 100,000 to play from the button and was looked up by Danny Tang in the big blind.

The action went check check on the 6♥4♥9♦ flop for the players to see the 10♠ peel off on the turn. Tang led out for 195,000 and, after a short tank, Kornuth made the call.

On the K♥ river, Tang took a moment before he fired off a river bet of 375,000. This sent Kornuth into the tank again and he was charged one time bank before he pushed in the call. Kornuth tabled A♠6♦ for fourth pair, which was good for the pot as Tang tabled Q♣8♦ for total air.

Level 16 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Pavel Plesuv raised from the cutoff to 100,000, and Sean Winter three-bet to 325,000. Everyone else folded except Plesuv, who called. The flop was 9♦J♦10♣, and both players checked.

On the 7♠ turn, Plesuv took the lead and bet out 225,000. Winter called.

On the Q♣ river, Plesuv bet again for 375,000 and Winter called.

Plesuv rolled over 3♣3♦ for one pair, but Winter showed K♥J♠ for the better pair.

Level 16 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Danny Tang opened to 100,000 on the button and Yosuke Miki called in the big blind.

The flop landed 10♣10♦2♥Q♠ with an extra card, though the dealer could identify the queen as the burn card so there was no reshuffling needed.

With the flop now reading 10♣10♦2♥, Miki then checked and Tang bet 160,000. Miki folded.

Kharlin Sued: Q♠Q♦ All in
Michael Moncek: A♠A♣

No help came for Sued on the 9♦3♣J♦10♠7♠ runout and he was sent to the rail in 12th place.
