GETTING TESTY (EVENT #10 - LIMIT)

Limiting the Drama

While there's a limit that can bet in this event, there's no limit to the frustration of a long day of poker. One player calls, no less than 4 tournament officials to his table, for clarity regarding the cell phone rule.

He claims that he's been given different rulings and wants the record set straight. After defusing the situation, Earl "The Pearl" Brown clearly and succinctly sums it up.

"If you're on the phone your hand is not dead, but you'll get a warning. The next time it happens, it will be a ten hand penalty," Brown says.

Case closed.

38 players remain with the field thinned to 27 or play continues to 2 AM, whichever comes first. But if the players unanimously agree, they can keep playing until they hit the money.

The top 18 get paid, as they compete for the top prize of $13,690.

Level 13 continues (1,500/3k limits).
