Re: 1997 WSOP
The "bathroom" play has always bothered me, as Scotty, who ultimately won the tournament, called Kevin's all-in bet while Kevin left the table for the men's room (he got permission from the floorman). There is no way Kevin is leaving the table--I don't care how bad he has to 'go'--heads-up at the championship event unless he knows he will win the pot. It is inconceivable that he put himself in the position of returning from the men's room not knowing if he had been eliminated from the world championship of poker. It is the extreme of the textbook "here's my bet, but I'm not interested in the pot anymore" tell. Scotty should have passed.
