More details from Card Player

Some of the details are unclear, but about fifteen minutes ago at the Featured Table, one of the female dealers was quietly crying as she was replaced by the next dealer. Upon further investigation, one of the players at the final table was apparently being very critical of every mistake. According to Greg Raymer, it wasn't the content of what he was saying, but how he was saying it -- every criticism sounded like a spit in the face. If you took a transcript of what he said, it wouldn't appear to be very bad. But if you had to listen to it ...


It's a touchy situation, and the crowd applauded her in support as she left the table. Soon after, Tournament Director Johnny Grooms approaches the table to address the situation. Before he gets a chance to speak, the player leaves the table and goes over to say something to the dealer. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but their body language and everything else implies that he apologized to her.


When he returned to the table, Johnny Grooms had a brief, quiet discussion about respecting the dealers.

8:22pm... Featured Table update: The dealer made a mistake and the players began verbally abusing her. One player made some nasty remarks and she called the floor manager over. She removed for another dealer. She walked off in tears. I won't mention her name but I know her and she's a great dealer. She made a simple mistake. One of the ESPN producers explained the incident to TD Johnny Grooms and said that he'd give the guy a penalty for verbally abusing the dealer like that. The player went over to apologize to try to avoid a penalty.

Incredibly, her $1,000,000 stack is one of the smallest. It appears only five players have less than $1,000,000.

Pokertrails: Raymer brings it in for a raise and is called in two spots. On the 7h 6h 2s flop, Sartori bets 300k. Raymer calls and the other caller folds. Turn is the Tc, Sartori checks, Raymer bets 1m, no call.
