Mark Whent (unstable on betfair) was playing a £20 rebuy at the gutshot club in London several weeks back. On the table was a guy in his early twenties who was acting like a bigshot proffessional. Obviously he was a regular to the club as he was the one on that table in charge of distributing the chips in the event of a rebuy. He was so arrogant and had several rebuys and made comments like I don't mind a few rebuys as I will win it or come really close to winning it anyway. He was trying amateur bullying tactics and just before the rebuy period was over he had built up to around 5 times the starting stack having made 4 rebuys.
One of the tactics the guy would do was to push his chips out in front of him before it was his turn to act in the hope that it would prevent people from raising so that he could see cheap flops/protect his blinds. Mark realised that the chips were virtually in the centre of the table and everytime it was his turn to act he would drag the chips back. The tournament was player dealt, absolute any dealer dealt game in the world your chips would have had to stay in the middle. Now Mark had enough of the guys constant bragging about how much he won etc (Mark didn't even mention his 6th place finish at the BAPT) and the pulling chips back out of the pot. So he made a plan.
The rebuy period had just ended and preflop again on the button the idiot pushed his chips near the centre when there were about five people to act before him. Two people were all in then when it was folded round to him he went to pull the chips back and Mark said 'excuse me I believe that your chips being that far forward count as a call'. He tried to argue his point and then several people agreed that it was clearly a call. So he had to call and sheepishly turned over K9 and his face went white when the other two people turned over AA and KK. He did not get a miracle and was busted.
He started complaing to Mark that he had cost him the tournament. With over fifty people left what makes him think he was a certainty to win? He doesn't even know the basic rules! Mark said you cost yourself by putting your chips in the middle of the table with K9o. The guy sheepishly walked off and then done his nuts in the slot machine! A good result for everyone except 'wanker boy'.
A late development with alleged cheating in the pokerstars $5million gtd. Basically it is alleged that the winner entered several accounts into the same tournament. Here is a link with the latest gossip....
