Serious Business
The Seniors Championship may have a reputation, and deservedly so, for being friendly and good natured, but the players are in the money now and there is a serious payday awaiting the eventual winner, so there are a few sticklers for rules making sure everything is above board.
A player announced raise and then appeared to put out chips in two motions. The player in the big blind asked if that wasn’t a string bet and the floor was called. It was indeed ruled a string bet and a min-raise was declared the legal bet. The player in the big blind was demonstrating how the other player had put out his chips and another player piped up, “Isn’t that a call?”
The player quickly pulled back the calling chips and the dealer let it slide and no more was said. The big blind finally looked at his cards and folded to be greeted by some eye rolling from a couple of players.
