What do you think of this "Play of the Month" from www.european-poker.com (http://www.european-poker.com)?
"The February Play of the Month award goes to Midlands regular PB for a move he used during the feature £500 No Limit Hold'em event Salford's North of England Open tournament, writes RB.
Down to two tables and with just ten players remaining, PB was short stacked and about to be on the big blind. However, he heard the neighbouring table had a player 'all-in'.
With the dealer on his table in the middle of a shuffle, PB declared he had spotted a marked card - some achievement from five feet away and something that amazed both the dealer and his fellow players.
As the dealer sifted through the deck trying to spot what our PB had so impressively done from a distance, the intrepid player turned his full attentions on the adjacent table and gave his dealer no help in finding the damaged card.
Of course, it was all a ploy and when the 'all-in' doubled through, PB's attention returned to his own table when he announced that he must have been mistaken and told the dealer to continue with the hand.
And guess what?
PB survived and not only made the final table but picked up second place and £8,000."
