Sorry, Y'all Just Can't do That

The hand before break took quite a while over at one of the outer tables, mostly because RozThe TD had to be called over to rule on the hand between Jamey Kramer and his challenger.

Kramer - who we documented earlier looking to rebuild a nub-of-a-stack - is all-in and his challenger is debating whether to call.

Well, you see, what happened was  ... the challenger exposed his Ace-Jack before deciding whether to call the all-in. Kramer then showed his hand only to that challenger, as they were the only two players in the hand.

Yep, over comes Roz to explain the hands are still live, the hand is going to play out, and on return from break both players have a one-lap penalty - the challenger for exposing his hand and Kramer for exposing his hand with action pending.

The challenger mucks, explains that he's a cash-game player where showing his hand heads-up is OK here. He gets his say, and gets his penalty. Kramer then asks why he should get a penalty when the challenger was the one initiating the show-me actions.

"This isn't kindergarten," Roz says, explaining just because one person does something, that doesn't make it right for everyone to do the same thing.
