"Those Idiots Who Wrote This Rule Need to be Fired"
Nível 12
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
The fireworks of the previous hand didn't go unnoticed by some of the players at neighboring tables, and Daniel Negreanu showed up as an interested spectator, getting a rundown of the preflop action from Dan Smith. Negreanu was dealt a hand in the meantime, and he went back to play it but was told his hand was dead. The tournament director confirmed that it was a dead hand, but Negreanu demanded another ruling, pointing out that he was clearly within an arm's length of the table.
"The rule say at my seat, I'm at my seat," Negreanu said pointedly. "These idiots who wrote this rule need to be fired. It's so vague."
The second tournament director arrived, and he calmly told Negreanu to play his hand after hearing the situation. Negreanu folded.
