On the Rail

A high-profile rail at this final table, including:

Daniel Negreanu
Brian Townsend
Taylor Caby
Cristiano Blanco
Rafi Amit
My friend Pinky (Ok, he isnt famous.)

Tony G is helping himself to drinks at the bar before we start. As a neutral it would be really cool to see a drunk Mr. G, but I guess we want him to win it, so I won't be spiking it for him.

Sherkhan Farnood will be sitting out the first two hands as a result of his earlier penalty.

There is a huge crowd here to watch this one; it could get loud.

Farnood Gets a Penalty

[user3511]

Sherkhan Farnood has just received a five-hand penalty for collusion.

In a three-way pot with Istvan Novak and Jon Persson he was the last to act. The action went check-check on the river so Farnood checked also. He turned over the nut flush and there is now a very very big debate going on as to whether that is collusion.

Tony G wants him to have a longer penalty.

Farnood claims he didn't realise what he has.

Persson has one chip.
