Event 1: Careful with Your Cards

$350 + $50 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

One tournament official is called to a table to make a ruling on one of the game's simpler rules, "show one, show all."

Everyone will remain anonymous, but the offending player was accused of showing his cards to a neighbor as he folded and took down the pot.

"I really don't want to show my cards," says the player who tried to push his cards into the muck after the fact, "I looked and nobody's sure if anyone saw them."

The player had raised preflop and everyone folded, but two players requested the hand be turned over.  After a short conversation, the floor ruled that the cards must be tabled and the dealer reveals A♥ A♣.

Nobody got nasty over the incident, but the lesson learned is that, unless you want to risk everyone seeing your hand, keep the cards close to the vest.

Level 8 (300/600/75 ante) is underway as late registration alternates and re-entries have one more hour to enter the field. 

Total entries is at more than 1,250.
