Being the Final Table of the Main Event, the Action should be stopped before the Players expose their Cards. They get a Floor Ruling and all Appeals for Higher Rulings. Then proceed with Action. The Players are emotionally compromised after the Events. Look at All the Dealers mistakes in the Past and how it has cost Players at the WSOP. Players should write down all the Dealers that benefited them during and Event to only Tip those specific Dealers. The Winner of the WSOP should only Tip the Dealers he/she liked up to 1%. The Players should set the amount of Tip per Dealer and submit to each individual - no general Dealer Tip that goes into a pool that is Divided. 🤓💵
gta3ist - Generally, you don’t Tip till end of the Tournament. So a mistake or error will probably result in no Tip - Dario Sammartino could choose not to Tip. Nick Marchington did not Win any more money from the mistake in his favor - eliminated in 7th with no Pay Increase from time of mistake. If he (Dario Sammartino) finishes 5th - $2.2 MM, then instead of $22,000 Tip to the Dealers he could just Buy his Rail a lot more liquor. 🍾😂
Steven Nguyen of course you wouldn’t tip a dealer at on goin Tourney ( until you get that payout slip )the losers wont tip well , of course, but if the winners were able to tip dealers of choice don’t you think some would “ make “ mistakes for the guy they know if wins will tip well
gta3ist - Dealer are sent to random tables for 30 minutes and flow through the course of several tables before a break. Table assignments for Players are random, Players are moved to balance tables as people are eliminated - seems difficult to commit Actions that would create Misdeal, exposing Cards, rolling Action before a Player Acts or other “mistakes” for a potential of a Tip. It is the Uncertainty of Tip that makes it where the Dealers are working to Deal a Fair Game. Yes, mistakes will happen - but now there are consequences with the Tip. The Players at the Final Table could agree that the Dealers do not deserve a Tip. They could collectively agree that no Players will Tip the Dealers because of poor performance. It applies to any type of Service. Poor service equals little to zero Gratuity. Not all Dealers performed well - currently the Dealer Tip pool rewards poor or mediocre performance. 🤓🌎 During WSOP Events, every Poker Dealer is working at one casino or another...hundreds are working at Rio...why should Players Tip for flaws. Glad Dario is playing Monday - he will be able to forget the mess and focus back on Poker. The “mistake” is tarnish on the Staff of WSOP - Final Table gaffe. You don’t want Tournament Director to have to make a Ruling of a mistake on ESPN coverage of the Final Table. 🤡 Clown show. Action should have been stopped before any Cards were exposed. Dario, who said I will probably Call, should be allowed to consider $22+ MM All-In...$5 MM in difference from the Short Stack (Nick). 10 Big Blind difference. Players caught it after Dealer announced wrong amount.
Idk how u guys all think stupidly like that lol it’s really not hard to understand. He was fine calling and risking 17 million on his pocket 10s so he does that by moving his chips in. After he moves his chips in they change the number and add 5 million which he is not fine with. They basically stole an extra 5 million in chips from him lol.
Tyler H what u guys are forgetting is that doesn’t mean anything or make any difference. None of the people on the floor including jack said anything close to if u would’ve stated ur problem before the cards were flipped we would of let u keep the extra 5 so why u guys acting like they did lol? All that does is make it look like that didn’t effect his choice but anyone who’s played poker knows 5million in chips effects ur choice majorly so that argument is invalid. No matter what time he decided to state his disagreement he was gonna get screwed outta the 5 million no matter what.
He would not shove 99 with 28bb. Dario should have said something as soon as he found out it was 22, he should have known that the worst hand he is gonna shove from sb when utg raises is AQs and JJ+. If he said it right away than i agree with him
There's no doubt here. He agreed to the call before seeing the hand. He should have argued before any cards were turned over, clearly. If opponent showed 99 he would not be arguing.
ImAllInNow: Even the first ruling wasn't clear. He was calling 17, not 22. He pushed 17( I believe). Like I stated, he is responsible for what he verbally agreed (17).
Ultimately he shouldn't have started whining after the cards are exposed, he only becomes angry when he realised he is dominated. If he was up against 9s or under etc he would have been ecstatic.
Wish you could multiple thumbs up. What a knob for only causing a scene after the cards were exposed. Just embarrassing himself on poker's biggest stage.
Yeah I would give a lot more credibility to his argument if he got upset before the cards were turned and wanted to take it back before. He was clearly ok with it until he saw the cards. They made the correct decision here.
To the dealer who dealt this hand, if you are reading this, liberate yourself from these evil people. Evil people are sick, depraved, immoral, wicked and malevolent. Sleep well my dear.
It's all-around unfortunate, but Dario definitely nodded like "okay, 5M more", then saw what he was against and started pleading his case. Just how it appeared. I can't see how the officials could've ruled differently regardless.
Jack read this guy like a book. "You're not going to talk your way out of this one" polarized the entire situation especially considering he got a ruling before the cards were revealed
@@mpup54 -- It doesn't imply anything of the sort. It's a statement about what he's attempting to do -- talk his way out of his decision. If he wasn't happy, he should have made a fuss before the dealer turned the cards over. Doing so afterwards just makes him an angleshooting loser. Jack recognizes that.
@@twatmunro You must have missed the part right before the cards were turned where the floor man says that the guy must call. This was a bigger mistake than the dealer's miscount. The floor man should have asked the guy if he wanted to call or not. That would have avoided this entire controversey. It's true that the guy didn't protest but he also didn't speak English very well and the cards were turned over a few seconds after the floor mandated the call.

Dario only became visibly upset when he saw that he was behind in the hand. I watched this hand over and over. We all know that if he was calling 22 if it had been 22. They even showed the rule in the book that you have to pay attention even if the dealer makes a mistake you should know what is going on.
But asking the dealer the count is making sure what's going on. The dealer is who verifies. Would have had a better argument to do it pre show. But imo the proper ruling would be call the 17 that the dealer told you it was. The dealer is like a referee so they should rely on the dealer.
@@vanacupanther True but you know these poker pros can count chips with their eyes closed. Dario only got upset when he saw what he was up against. I am sure he knew the exact count. Like Jack said, it's a game of observation... Yes the dealer counted incorrectly but Dario knew what was on the table. Also Jack was correct, not in his approach, but Dario had 62M.... if he is calling 17M he is calling 22M.
@@vanacupanther The rule book determines what should happen in that situation; the player needs to put in the actual amount, not the amount that the dealer says. The players agree to play according to the rules.
Yep, and it would have been a lot easier to let him retract the call and think about it knowing the true amount. But once those cards are tabled all bets are off.
I do believe it's up to him to A) confirm the amount played B) mistakes are made by the dealer, so you need to be sure. The other thing is he was fine with the call at 22.5 mil, It was only till he saw his 10's were going to lose to his Q's. Then he makes a fuss. I think the right call was made.
There's no way. The responsibility is on the establishment period. They're the professionals whose profession it is to run all games fairly without mistakes. He challenged before flipping the cards. They said he accepted the action, told him to flip over, he sees, if course he's mad... but if he had not challenged and it just rolled to him and they said 'mistake, it's 22.5m' and he said ok anyways then I agree... but he challenged it period.
@@chuckdeuces911 You have no clue about poker. Players share responsibility to make sure things are correct. The dealer is not perfect. In your silly scenario, there would be nothing but angle shooters and arguments.
He meant "you called the all in, doesn't matter if it was 17 or 22" he accepted the action after he found out it was 22 for a 2nd time, then they turned over the cards and he backtracked
Right. He didn't mean it strategy wise. At least I didn't take it that way. Plus Jack is sick of dealing with these boohooing players. You didn't know the rules? Tough shit, thats on you, hoss. He's arguing a clearly stated rule...plus he agreed until he saw his dick was smashed in a vice. In my eyes, Dario looks the worst here trying to redo a hand he was clearly calling and losing. 🤷♂️
When he says “you call 17, you call 22” what he’s really saying is “you called 17, which means you actually called 22.” He’s making the ruling not needling. Basically agree w david williams interpretation.
@@Nathancl22 was he rationalizing? Don't get me wrong, he was a little blunt and could have handled it better. But I took it as you called $17mill but it was a miscount, now unfortunately that means you call the 22. The reason I interpret it as such is because he said just before that, the miscount does not matter. There could have been 30mill in the middle, dealer could have said the count is 3mill and you call, you're on the hook for the 30. It is an unfortunate scenario, but it was handled correctly if not in a somewhat blunt matter. The other table is still going, people are effectively losing blinds while your table is being stalled out by this decision. You cannot afford to let this discussion drag on. A ruling is made, no ifs, ands, or buts and you move on. Otherwise the whole table gains from Dario arguing
@@RealAnthonyJones this isn't the point, i get that 17.2 and 22.2 are close. yes that's true. eiffel even says at the end if the "dealer called a bet 3 mil but was 22.2 samartino would be on the hook for 22.2". the rule itself is the problem here. according to rules that are in place for some bat shit stupid reason dealers aren't actually in charge of bet amounts in the WSOP (they are in most local casinos and any house game i play in though, since it's common sense). eiffel and these bums make enough money that they have no real reason to give a shit though, which comes right out in his explanation to samartino. the only way this stuff would get fixed is if the top end public eye type players (negreanu etc) made a stand till this shit gets fixed. want to see another fun eichel/eiffel "ruling" see the gail baumann-koroknai hand from a few years ago. utter garbage. the top end players need to be more stand up humans rather than just be content to know how much ROI they have in the WSOP and get this shit fixed rather than just play on knowing how disturbingly bad the system set up is in some spots.
@@jasonbatteiger2421 it's the same if you play blackjack. If you have 20, and the dealer tells you you have 15, so you hit and bust, it's the player who's at fault for not knowing they had 20. Personally I see nothing wrong with the rule. Players are responsible for information that is openly available to them. Especially if it's a known rule that the player is responsible in these situations, they should pay more attention to everything.
Ifhe it's not the most relevant argument because QQ is an easy call for 22. But the fact he is arguing about it after the cards are turned AND the flop is out means he can't come back from it. But the hands flipped argument is kind of redundant imo
But the incident influenced his call. He might have want to think about it but misunderstanding with the dealer might have influence his final call. But in the end the cards were laid already
What would be fair in a perfect world is...Dario puts the 17 mill in the middle and the guy who went all in should hold 5 mill back and play for the supposed 17 mill all in.
How insecure about your intelligence are you to feel the need to correct random strangers spelling and grammar.I can assure you that you aren't the only one who noticed it,you're just the only one sad enough to point it out.Now run along son,mommy probably needs a foot rub or something cause you can't live in her basement forever ,no free rides in life kid.
Joe Jitsu I’m not a kid who graduated college and is neck deep in debt. I know what I want to do with my life and I’m only a Junior in HS. The amount of grammatical errors in your comments are disgusting. It’s embarrassing how you would assume I live with my parents when you can’t type a sentence to save your life. In the first comment I was just pointing out that your point seems sketchy because you look uneducated when you spell words wrong.
Joe Jitsu Who is going to take your opinion seriously if you cannot even spell right? Try having some stupid typo in PhD, or in application for job.( High end job, not as janitor).
He snap called, thinking he is ahead. Didn't even spend any time to reconsider his calling/folding decision. Thus, complaining about the remaining 1/3 of his calling chips..AFTER...his see his opponent cards and realizing he is way behind is....silly.
He called the 17bb regardless. He can then fold the remaining 5bb PRE unexposed. Which of course means he will call all of it. He should be given the option to fold everything above 17bb tho, or the size of the stack he pushed forward if ≥17bb. So if the effective stack happens to be 100bb in some scenario, Dario could potentially call 17bb and fold the rest pre unexposed. But this is not the rules are.
@@pahakuutti thats not fair though to say to marchington "even though you announced all in and pushed all your chips forward youre not entitled to a full call."
It’s very clear, the 17/22 line isn’t a needle. At 15:35 - Jack explains how the rule works - even if the count error as egregious like 10x (3M vs 30M), the call would stand for 30M. Dario points out 17/22 affects his decision, Jack responds it doesn’t matter (which by his explanation of the rule, it doesn’t). Jack’s direct, abrupt and not showing empathy. He could be annoyed but it is likely in part to end the situation, protect his dealer and floor managers.
Why does it work like that though? In any other business or event or sports game we all have roles. Clearly the dealer or by extent the casino is at fault. Now I dont know how this should be solved to be honest. Dealers are humans and make mistakes. Casinos do take in rake though to cover not only the costs of running the casino in normal terms but to cover their risks. The rules are clear though. And I assume that although most people won't read the rules, once youre this deep you've read them one of the nights in the bedroom at the hotel.
@@ActionableFreedom I think they could’ve been nicer lol I’m kind of pissed finding out all my fav players are banned. like wtf happened to stealth munk
Zero sympathy for people in comment sections. If you don't want someone to be upset and complain, don't make the mistake in the first place. This isn't about results oriented action. It's correct to try and save your extra couple million here regardless when someone else fucks up. Just don't make mistakes in spots this important, dealers.
@@obscurereference6298 He called it with the corrected amout of 22 and he called the guy's all in, he clearly would have called it anyway cause he thought he was getting the guy out of the game, then trying to retract because he lost. I mean man up and accept your lost, arguing this long and whining is almost unsportmenship he could have been kicked out of the tournament if he continu.
@@obscurereference6298 he would have argue before he knew he lost, the floorman and the dealer looked at him and said 22M it's a call he hook his head and showed up is cards then start whining. 5M in ships at this point in the game it's about nothing, it's not like they are really betting millions
Had he voiced his complaint BEFORE flipping the cards over I might side with him on this one. The fact that he seems to have no issue with the situation until he sees he's a 4-1 dog, I can't empathize with him anymore because he was attempting to take a shot. Imagine if he saw he was ahead, had no issue, then got sucked out on if he would complain then. That's in a sense what he's doing here.
I concur. If he'd asked for a ruling BEFORE the cards were shown, I'd side with him (even though I agree it was a bad decision by the official). You can't wait to see where you stand and THEN complain.
@@stephenhenley7452 the only reason I agree with the ruling but the official is because the rule itself states how this situation is handled. Whether I agree with the rule itself is another discussion, but they got the correct call in the end.
The only way he’d have an argument was if chips were hidden and he couldn’t see them on her announcement. This is entirely on him. Not having any idea where people are this deep into the Main Event is absolutely ludicrous. Also one could make the argument his hand at 22 million could have a wider range than 17 and it just so happened QQ was his hand. He made that call expecting to be ahead or at worst a coin flip.
As a former floor man 1. Accepted action is a rule at most casinos. It is the players responsibility to know what they're calling, regardless of what anyone else says. 2. Jack is not needling him. He's simply stating that if you called 17 but the bet was 22, you have to call 22. 3. Jack has to keep it short because by the time he's been called he has to assume it's been a long while and there's a clock running and another table playing. 4. If anyone might get an ethical slap on the wrist it's Sammartino. He had to have known the dealer was making a mistake and never attempted to correct her. Nothing in the rules, but he fully took advantage of the dealers mistake.
yeah pretty clear that he's a little disappointed before hand, but still crunches the numbers real quick and accepts it with that acknowledging nod/acceptance after floor announces it will be a call -- until he see's the cards.
Which part did the floor say that if he complained before the cards were shown he could keep the extra 5 million? Lol I honestly don’t understand ur guys point. He was always gonna get screwed of the 5 million no matter when he stated his issue. He called the 17 so they made him call the 22. They never said anything close to him keeping his 5 million extra if he stated his problem earlier lol
Dylan Umpherville that’s not the point we are trying to make. What we are trying to say is that the realization that he was dominated pre flop made him suddenly challenge the dealers mistake. In other words, he would not have been so vocal if he had the dominating hand pre flop. It’s understandable though, you’re fine with everything up until you realize you’re dominated but it’s not very classy imo. To me it was just so obvious that he wouldn’t have complained at all if his opponent had deuces. P.S. it’s been a while I have played poker so I do apologize in advance if I have said something that doesn’t make sense. I am only trying to help Dylan understand the point I was trying to make.
Chirag Lakhani at the end of the day he payed for someone else’s mistake. He wanted to call 17 and did when he only put that much chips into the pot but they made him pay 22. U can judge his character if u want but I think he would of been fine winning or losing the 17 million chips
Correct, but he asked 3 times for the count, asked for the chips to be seperated so HE could count them. And was told incorrectly. And players do not have to disclose their amount. So you'd be correct if the guy shoved, dealer said ''17.5'' and he called. he asked 3 times for the CORRECT count, he asked if they could be spread so HE could count them - neither of these met - incorrect ruling.
@@NoNoNoNopeNopeNopeNo....then why does the other players knew the count was incorrect and corrected the dealer and he doesn't...this explains the ruling that he has to be responsible to keep track of acrtons within the table...end of story...
Not always, I was at a table the other night and someone meant to straddle but the dealer announced raise. It came around to me and I called, straddle raises. I call the floor and tell them I called because I was under the impression I was closing the action because the dealer announced raise, my appeal was granted and money returned.
@@rupertpupkin4349 Doesn't matter.. it's an action on the play. You don't have to count out your chips and push them forward. You can just put a stack forward and say call.
exactly. He would have been real quiet if it went the other way. I'm not gonna say he shouldn't have called so quick, because that's his prerogative, but the fact he did means he's fucked.
@@mitchellfagan7701 It could have been reitorical. Like he was talking to himself. But then he made his bet/called which moves the game forward. In choosing to act he is indicating he is aware of what is happening even if the count is wrong. Kinda feel bad for him but no one called the clock on him. He had all the time he wanted to gather info before making his move. 5 million is a big mistake.
@@leodwinak I see your point but like you said he made his bet and he called with it, understandably 5 million is a big difference in poker but whether it was a miscount or not he still called so it's a heads up situation He called the 17 million but it's still a call, he can't go back once he's made his move
Where are said rules posted? I would agree with you if everyone was handed a rule book, but they aren't. The issues are in the complete lack of regard from the VP of the company who doesn't apologize for the mistake, doesn't seem sympathetic at all and then the needle at the end. It's being a dick when you just don't have to.
@@llgg1668 that wouldn't have been fair to marchington though. To say to him "even though you clearly announced all in and shoved your whole stack forward, through no fault of your own, you're not entitled to everything you bet"
Actually all people might do this. Dealer did wrong and if 10 is reveal, he would be fine but didnt. Of course he could complain about that. Dealer’s fault first. Dont judge people sneaky. You also sneaky. Is sneaky bad? No. Dealer’s fault. 100%
Simple Ruling. He didn't flip out until he saw the Queens. Acceppted action is a Rule. How can you argue with the rules? Jack wasn't empathetic enough? It went on too long for a simple ruling
Nothing wrong here. They told him the rule multiple times and he kept bitching. Glad Jack kept the game going. PLUS Sammartino didn't start crying until AFTER the cards were turned up. Grab him some tissue and move on
Robert....you need to understand this. IT is the bettor/player responsibility to asses the betting or opponent chip count. Plus you still don't understand Ruben point. Would Dario give back 5 millions to the initial ALL IN player if he flopped a quad of 10s. He reacted weakly when he see he is facing QQ. He didn't even shown he needs time to determine if he going to call the 17.2 millions all in bet. Thus, why on earth he cares the extra 5 millions if he THINK he is ahead with his 10/10. He only complain...AFTER....he see his is behind before the flop. I been playing poker, cash and tournament for 20 years and the way I approach to this, does make a difference and lets go. Maybe I make a bad call and get lucky on the flop. If not, its call gamble and move on. If you don't like it, maybe poker or gamble is not for you. Stick to legal profession or where rules are more precious and clear.
@@yummytummy88 see you reaction is towards his responds after which is not the point here. The dealer said 17 million, he called 17 million. If that was incorrect the cards shouldn't been flip. See this is where the dealer handle it poorly twice. She should of said do you call 22 million? See your not getting the fact this was a mistake handle poorly by everyone. Your right he would of called another 5m with the short stack. Let say it was the other way around it wouldn't have been a big deal? Yea but the dealer and direct should of confirm the call of 22m before flipping. They had a chance but fail. Next time stop defending the play after when it was the play first.
@@robertace821 its also not marchingtons fault. It wouldn't be fair to him to only receive 17.2m after he put his whole chipstack in. It was a mistake, but I dont think it was handled poorly.

Uhhhhhh yea very professional miscounting chips as a poker dealer. Very professional indeed. Dario should have only been on the hook for 17 since that’s what he believed he was calling. That way both guys can be upset by the dealers lack of professionalism.
@@4sight719 a dealer error doesn’t matter. Dario didn’t get pissed until he realized he was behind. If he had been ahead you can bet he would have kept his mouth shut.

And I agree he would have been relaxed if he was ahead, that being said I believe we can both agree that the descriptive word “professional” should not be attributed to a dealer who just miss counted by 7 big blinds.

@@michaellane9079 With "you" I obviously meant Dario. But yeah, if you don't like the rule stay home or at least don't waste 25 minutes from other players time just to argue what THREE floorman has allready ruled. And that rule is SIMPLE!!
@@michaellane9079 how is it a shitty rule? Pretty straight forward players are responsible to double check themselves what the stacks are before they call.
After rewatching this a second time Im starting to come to the conclusion that Dario didnt even deserve anywhere near as much work as the work that was put into the ruling, and the only reason he got help was because he made a huge fit about it. The fact that a poker player on the final table of the world series of fucking poker is trying to get a pity ruling is shameful.
I disagree, the house has to be perfect period. No mistakes, he should have only been in the pot for $17.5. They should have just run it for $17.5 and none of this would matter. The bettor and/or the dealer are responsible for each persons chips at the table. I'm not responsible for counting your chips. This is the exact same as buying a defective product at the store. That's the only reason we're in your facility, letting your people deal cards because you make money from doing such things so you have to be 100% responsible for you business. If you have a credit card, you report it stolen, you turn it off online, then someone makes a request for money with that cards information no matter who takes it, the card should be held liable. That's their business. They promise the safety of nothing going wrong, no matter what.
@@chuckdeuces911 If you go to Walmart to buy engine oil or something and the employee accidentally points you to the wrong product are they held responsible for what happens to your car/project? Obviously not. It is your responsibility to ensure that everything that you are doing is correct. Same thing with the dealer. The dealer is someone who is authorized by the house to deal cards. Getting a count is another service that the house provides, however under no terms does the house guarantee the accuracy of the count. You are responsible as a player to maintain stack awareness at all times, regardless of what the dealer says. The dealer is not held liable for the accuracy of the count, nor is it guaranteed to be accurate. The house isn't liable for the dealer because they are hosting a game, you are partaking in it. 100% of all major orgs/sports/events clarify that just because you are unaware of what's happening doesn't mean that it's their fault. Finally ignoring the fact that it's a mistake that most definitely cost him the tournament, he is at a level where he is well aware of the specifications of rules, including the one that says that all actions are final and cannot be changed. Rules like this are in the game for reasons, and this is one of them. The amount of angles that can be shot by having perfect house coordination is insane. If he had actually thought he was ahead he could have made a complaint like this and had the action overturned, and honestly HE KIND OF DID. After he missed the flop he became noticeably more upset and started pushing for the ruling more. If he really was that upset about it he would have raised his concerns before the flop hit.
His responsibility was to observe the dealer as she did the chip count. He didn’t. Too bad for him, but this is not a tough situation. He called the full amount.
@@MrJamberee This is what I like to hear. The fact that this ever turned into an argument makes no sense. This guy is a professional acting like he's in a shoddy home game series.
Here is the key to me. Notice when he flips his cards and notice when he stands up to complain. He didn't start complaining until after he saw the cards. He was wrong through and through.
Perfect response from the VP. The guy wanted to argue with the dealer and three floor managers - someone has to come down and shut down the issue and call it over. Done.
For those with a problem with Jack's 'attitude' towards the situation, you need to understand that Dario was told by 3 different people the exact same rule and was holding up the game. Jack went in there, said the exact same rule and got play to continue. It's not fair to the other players that Dario continues on after being told multiple times the exact same thing. Great job by Jack and the staff.
@@michaellane9079 no , he didnt this is a prime example to slow down and make sure before calling . he could of easily asked for a recount or counted it himself
Lol this is great. It's obvious Jack wasn't making a comment on Dario's strategy. He obviously meant "even if you think you are calling 17 you still have to call 22 because of the forward motion of the chips"
Jack also said, "She could say, 30 million and there's 300 million out there...you're calling 300 million." THAT'S the context of "you're calling 17, you're calling 22"
@@Irishkilla79 You're an idiot. It IS the same thing because the rules SAY it's the same thing. If you say call, it doesn't matter how much the dealer said the amount was. Please don't reproduce, our gene pool doesn't need more morons.
@@basedbear1605 What I meant was was Jack Effel said. If you're calling 17, you were going to call 22. That's what I was referring to. Also, no need to be rude bud. Can't you have a civil rebuttal? If he said if you calling 30 then your calling 300, then that would have been a jab at Sammartino.
him saying that implies the specific amount is important and may have an impact in his decision. he could've eyeballed the stack and snap called if the difference between 17 and 22 didn't matter.
The rule is clear: it's an accepted action. Meaning: It's player's responsability to know if they are given a good count or bad count. By saying "call" instead of "count again please", you are accepting the bad count of the chips, that's why Jack said "You're calling 17, you're calling 22". And, by the way, what is Jack doing with his hand is "dont believe what you're told, believe in your own eyes, and YOUR OWN EYES ONLY".
Accepted action is the correct ruling. He turned over his cards. No debate here. Dario is just upset because his opponent is ahead with pocket QQ. CASE CLOSED. [2019]
This is why I like Jack Eiffel. He knew exactly why Dario was complaining, because he found out he was behind. 'your calling 17 your calling 22' is true 100% if Marchington had Pocket 9's
David Williams explained what Jack meant to say. This ruling was so simple. It's the same with forward action. You cant make a motion forward, then pull it back.
Dario is a fool there. Dario is taking advantage on the dealers miscount. If he is ahead in flop. He will not do this. Just when the time that he know he is loosing he started to cry
bla bla bla bla Sammartion is wrong. If you have a problem the way the dealer counted the chips you say something prior to turning you cards and seeing the other players hole cards. I got a million dollars that says he would of never said a word if the other player showed 99, 88, K/J or even 10/10.
This is old as hell now, but I can’t believe Dario didnt know almost exactly how much Marchington had. As a professional Poker player, it is your job to know how much is in your opponents stack when playing No Limit or even Pot Limit. And this is true even if youre playing a $2/5 cash game. 11 left in the WSOP Main you really have no excuse for not knowing how much an opponent has. Every professional knows that mistakes sometimes happen, so much like protecting your cards, you have to protect yourself from mistakes and know exactly what the rules are and what the circumstances are.
15:40ish VP says "she could say there's 3millions but there be 30millions out there, you still would be held to the same rule" .. so no, its not about the play calling 17mill (you would had called 22mill also). Secondly, he dont start complaining or make a case until the cards are revealed (would he done same if opponent show pocket 99 ?).
This is very much how I feel about it. He's not saying Dario would call 22 million every time, he's saying if you put your chip forwards as an action to call and there's 22 million in front of you, it doesn't matter what the dealer told you or what you think you are calling, you are being put in for having called that all-in. That said, VP could work on his empathy skills, but they are probably taught to not leave any room for interpretation with a ruling, and to avoid apologies so it's not used as some weird admission of guilt.
It was VERY clear that the boss meant that if he called the 17,then he had actually called the 22,so he had to put 5 more in. It WASN'T a needle, it's what he meant. You CAN'T shortcall the actual amount of the bet if you have more chips.
@@ScottiMusicNow No, it's actually the rule in poker. Like William said, you can't shortcall. If you advance 1 chip, meaning that you call, it's like you're advancing 50 milion if that's what it takes to call.
Rules are clear as the suits on the cards. "You" as a player contemplating a call are responsible for knowing what the action in front of you entails. It even covers cases of a dealer mispeaking on a count. His motion to move chips across the line toward the center is a call which constitustes accepted action of an all in and not the responsibility of anyone other than the player to have the correct info. Video clearly shows pocket tens had no issue with the call til he saw he was smoked by the pocket queens. Tournament director was quoting the written part of the accepted action rule where it states if you announce a call verbally or present chips in an obvious motion representative of or consistent with any universally accepted motion understood to be representative of a call even if the call is of the incorrect amount regardless of where the incorrect information came from that you the player are responsible for the entire correct amount whether it be more or less than it actually is. It is intuitively understood that the less articulate expression of "you called the 17 your calling the 22" is both reference to the rule of accepted action, as well as being the final ruling on the dispute in accordance with the written rule of accepted action whereby it states that " if you called the 17, your calling the 22". That's the rule, as it is directed to be ruled, per the written rules of the WSOP that ironically are also the responsibility of each and every player entered into the event. Purposely long winded to be irritating to the whiners, snowflakes and drama llamas chiming in without having all the information themselves 😆
Hey Joe! I was hoping that there was nothing about this that cost the dealer her job. She remained professional, albeit apologetic during this entire hand. I hope this didn't cost her, her job.
ugh. tournament dealers have it rough. likely no tips until the last 5 dealers in a tournament THIS big, too. she made one tiny mistake at the biggest possible stakes and might never get to work a tv table again, just bc this dude is two-faced and decided to make a big deal after the fact
Everyone who thinks the floorman is needling is wrong. The floorman meant onced you say call, you ACCEPTED the action. So whether the chip count is 17 mil, 22 mil or 30 mil, you CALL THE AMOUNT OF CHIPS that is LAID OUT in front of the player you CALLED. Thats the correct ruling and reasonably so. -1- The chips were in plain view, no chips were hidden from sight (alec torelli style) -2- Once you say call OR toss your chip in, its a call -3- It's the player responsibility to make sure its correct (imaging how many more ANGLES will be open up if DEALER is responsible and allow you to take back calls, etc... IT'LL BE A BIG MESS with all that being said, I wish the floorman would be more clearer what he meant and a little bit less rude.
I was asked about this in my TH-cam livestream (from the perspective of a poker employee). A little known fact about supervisors making floor rulings is that they try to recap the main point of the ruling at the end before leaving. In this case, Jack's comment was shorthand supervisor talk, reiterating the rule that states "if you call 17, you call 22." It was a TERRIBLE decision of Jack to use the shorthand supervisor language in this case, but nonetheless, he was actually saying that the rule states that if you call 17 in that case, you are forced to call 22. He was not intending to say it from the poker decision perspective. He deserved the criticism from the way people interpreted that, but he was not saying the thing people heard it as.
I dont think thats implied at all. Multiple times Jack says to Dario that he's 'not going to talk his way out of this' implying he's not even hearing him out. Even mocking him with that 'weird' hand motion crap. 100% it was a needle. I do agree with Dario in this spot 17 & 22 million are different enough amounts to warrant a different decision. I also think Dario makes this call even if the correct amount would've been said initially.
Don't know how I missed this one at the time - I love seeing the Poker goss! The big issue here is that Dario only really starts objecting after he sees he's behind. I don't think he's conciously thinking this, but subconciously he's wishing he didn't make the call because he's behind, so he's more annoyed than he would be at the error and thus highlighting it. If Dario had asked for action to be held or stopped pre-showdown in order to rectify the situation, he'd have a lot more of a leg to stand on about not necessarily calling the bigger raise.
But, you don't know for sure what he's thinking. And, Dario didn't have time to stop the action. Notice the floor man rule that the call stands. And, then the cards are immediately turned over. The floor man should have asked Dario if he still wanted to call or not. This would have avoided this entire controversy.
”you're calling 17, your calling 22” -- I don't think he meant it like the way they thought. He was saying that that was the ruling, not saying that's how the player would play the hand.
I think he meant something else. While he didn't mean the extreme version which is "if you can call 17 big blinds, then you can call 22 big blinds, they're practically the same," what he meant was more subtle: "if you only put in 17 big blinds expecting to risk that much, but now it's determined that the rules state you would have to put in all 22 big blinds, even if I give you the option to fold now and save your 5 big blinds, you wouldn't take it, you would call the 22 as well now that you have already called the 17."
He is absolutely OUT of line. The time to complain was prior to the cards being relieved. He was mad because the action was not in his favor. It’s his responsibility.
i think it's the provocative face-scrubbing hand gesture which is unfortunate. it's the official's way of emphasizing the prime importance of observation OVER her wrong report, but it plays to the audience like an arrogant insult which i do not believe it is.
no it's the horrible rule here. you are exactly right, if your vision isn't great (or chips are stacked wrong, or chips are hidden behind stacks, or under them) somehow YOU are the one responsible for a bet; this means according to WSOP's own rules the dealer doesn't actually run the game, and what they say means nothing officially in these instances. local casinos are often run better than this (any house game i'm in for sure does too)
@@jasonbatteiger2421 So what if that poor eyesight made you misread your hand? Should you not be held accountable for the cards in play either? There's a reason they put the responsibility on the player...to prevent angle shooting. Many rules that are in place, are in place to protect the integrity of the game.
I deal as well. I've dealt the WSOP for 15 years, I've done 13 televised final tables, including 3 Main Events. The dealer has an earbud. The producer/director knows exactly the amount of chips that everyone has, especially this deep in a tournament this prestigious. They should be in her ear telling her exactly what the all-in is, just to prevent this exact situation. I'm not sure why they weren't or why she didn't listen, but it's still a visual game. A call is a call
Homeboy called so damn fast after dealer said 17.2, there’s not a snowball’s chance in Hell he was going to fold. If I were going to play in the main event you could be damn sure I’d read the rules. Good job Jack.
You calling 17 you calling 22 is absolutely right, you tell me you gonna fold your hand if opp bets 5mil all in on the flop after you already called 17?
@@jjreed787 he is and he isn't. In that spot it an all in or fold dario knew this and tried to angle his way out. If other guy flips 78 over ratio says zero..
@@jjreed787 i guess you dont play poker, assume he called preflop 17, opp has 5 left, nobody will fold a 5 c bet unless you know you have 0% chance winning
Khoi Hoang agreed... Even if beaten, 5 Mil.... Is already pot committed (not how it went down... But he would have called with his 10's 100% of the time, even after q's revealed). Okay to say, calling 17=calling 22; he called the bet, regardless of dealer mistake on the count!
@@Godzilla_in_ħëll That's not what I'm saying at all. But you're twisting this scenario around into a hypothetical that didn't happen. Would he have still called the full 22 pre flop had he known the amount? Almost certainly. But he asked for a count, and the dealer got it wrong. I can understand the frustration. But don't change things around to fit your narrative. For somebody accusing others of not playing poker, you seem to have a tenuous grasp, at best, of this situation.
There was no need for a 30 minute video. Zero controversy. The rules couldn’t be more clear, and in a massive tournament, you kind of have to follow the rules. Dario was absolutely angling.
If the flop had a 10 on it or if Livingston had had 99, he wouldnt have complained. He should have complained before the flop was dealt, and the hands were faced up, he had time there to complain, but he didnt. So very poor acting by Dario.
A rule is a rule, he called that's it. And to me Jack doesn't have to apologize, he needs to be firm or else a lot of players will try to negociate a ruling.
If we really want to be technical about it he didn't put in enough chips too make a call and never said call so how could it be considered a call... Of course he on started whining after they were shown but technically he didn't call
I'm not 100% sure on WSOP rules, but in most poker tournaments you only need to put 1 chip in for it to count as a call. The size of the bet is irrelevant, if you put any chips in you call the bet
Revisiting this if they want the players to be responsible thats fine but make a rule that says the player has to stack their chips in denominations of 20 so There is less confusion.
Listen closely when Saammartino asks for a count. Dealer says "about 28 big blinds or so" but Cai says "22?" He heard Cai say 22 because he is sitting right beside him. He heard the dealer which conflicted with what Cai said. Rather than asking for another count, he snap calls. Rather than checking for himself, he calls. Then, he does not object when the recount is done. The dealer announces the mistake, The floor is instructed of the mistake and announces it will be a call. Sammartino shakes his head yes as to acknowledge it. Case closed. You agreed to continue until you saw the flop and it was not favorable to you... Also, rules are rules and a "professional" player should know the rules of the game they are a professional of. Rules state you need to be alert and aware and dealer mistakes are no excuse for you not being alert and aware.
Wtf are you talking about?? First of all the lady that announced about 28 big blinds was the announcer not the dealer. Period. Second of all he did have her count it a second time he didn't snap call. I don't know what video you watched
From the time they realized the count was wrong to when they resumed the hand was over a minute... he had plenty of time to protest before continuing, but didn't until he saw the QQ

Being the Final Table of the Main Event, the Action should be stopped before the Players expose their Cards. They get a Floor Ruling and all Appeals for Higher Rulings. Then proceed with Action. The Players are emotionally compromised after the Events. Look at All the Dealers mistakes in the Past and how it has cost Players at the WSOP. Players should write down all the Dealers that benefited them during and Event to only Tip those specific Dealers. The Winner of the WSOP should only Tip the Dealers he/she liked up to 1%. The Players should set the amount of Tip per Dealer and submit to each individual - no general Dealer Tip that goes into a pool that is Divided. 🤓💵
Steven Nguyen then the dealers will be “ making mistakes” for the players that they know will tip them well ?
gta3ist - Generally, you don’t Tip till end of the Tournament. So a mistake or error will probably result in no Tip - Dario Sammartino could choose not to Tip. Nick Marchington did not Win any more money from the mistake in his favor - eliminated in 7th with no Pay Increase from time of mistake. If he (Dario Sammartino) finishes 5th - $2.2 MM, then instead of $22,000 Tip to the Dealers he could just Buy his Rail a lot more liquor. 🍾😂
Steven Nguyen of course you wouldn’t tip a dealer at on goin Tourney ( until you get that payout slip )the losers wont tip well , of course, but if the winners were able to tip dealers of choice don’t you think some would “ make “ mistakes for the guy they know if wins will tip well
gta3ist - Dealer are sent to random tables for 30 minutes and flow through the course of several tables before a break. Table assignments for Players are random, Players are moved to balance tables as people are eliminated - seems difficult to commit Actions that would create Misdeal, exposing Cards, rolling Action before a Player Acts or other “mistakes” for a potential of a Tip. It is the Uncertainty of Tip that makes it where the Dealers are working to Deal a Fair Game. Yes, mistakes will happen - but now there are consequences with the Tip. The Players at the Final Table could agree that the Dealers do not deserve a Tip. They could collectively agree that no Players will Tip the Dealers because of poor performance. It applies to any type of Service. Poor service equals little to zero Gratuity. Not all Dealers performed well - currently the Dealer Tip pool rewards poor or mediocre performance. 🤓🌎 During WSOP Events, every Poker Dealer is working at one casino or another...hundreds are working at Rio...why should Players Tip for flaws. Glad Dario is playing Monday - he will be able to forget the mess and focus back on Poker. The “mistake” is tarnish on the Staff of WSOP - Final Table gaffe. You don’t want Tournament Director to have to make a Ruling of a mistake on ESPN coverage of the Final Table. 🤡 Clown show. Action should have been stopped before any Cards were exposed. Dario, who said I will probably Call, should be allowed to consider $22+ MM All-In...$5 MM in difference from the Short Stack (Nick). 10 Big Blind difference. Players caught it after Dealer announced wrong amount.
now if she says 22 and her dad says 17 that's real trouble

17 is legal as in northern Ireland so you go to go? Dont knpw about different states in USA lol
comment of the year
17 is legal in a majority of U.S. States and pretty much everywhere in Western Europe
He did not complain untill the cards were revealed. End of story.
Idk how u guys all think stupidly like that lol it’s really not hard to understand. He was fine calling and risking 17 million on his pocket 10s so he does that by moving his chips in. After he moves his chips in they change the number and add 5 million which he is not fine with. They basically stole an extra 5 million in chips from him lol.
Dylan Umpherville Floor at first should of verified with him before cards for exposed if he wants to call since dealer messed up count
Tyler H what u guys are forgetting is that doesn’t mean anything or make any difference. None of the people on the floor including jack said anything close to if u would’ve stated ur problem before the cards were flipped we would of let u keep the extra 5 so why u guys acting like they did lol? All that does is make it look like that didn’t effect his choice but anyone who’s played poker knows 5million in chips effects ur choice majorly so that argument is invalid. No matter what time he decided to state his disagreement he was gonna get screwed outta the 5 million no matter what.
Tyler H he shook his head when they upped the amount. He was basically complaining before the cards were shown.
The Italian crew complained the whole tournament. Glad they went back home.
He wouldn’t have said a word if the guy had rolled over 99.
He would not shove 99 with 28bb. Dario should have said something as soon as he found out it was 22, he should have known that the worst hand he is gonna shove from sb when utg raises is AQs and JJ+. If he said it right away than i agree with him
Then it would be the other guy complaining
Have to admit, that kind of money I would be tilted as well and say something, then accept the first ruling ahaha.
I agree.
@@jebivjetar5623 In that case what difference did TT make with 99 lol? If it was said 22k right away he would have simply called too..

Zactly
I haven't gotten to the flop yet. 😀
And you would still be wrong. The rules are clear, a call is a call and that's that.
There's no doubt here. He agreed to the call before seeing the hand. He should have argued before any cards were turned over, clearly. If opponent showed 99 he would not be arguing.
EXACTLY!!! He fucking called and you can see it. He sees the cards and pulls this BS!!
Agreed.
It is partially right. He definitely has a case. He was calling 17( what was bid), though not responsible for the 22...
@UCmIZa8HNePAgBNgc6c6XrWA the video seemed to show or indicate a number of seconds after the ruling was given before the cards were shown.
ImAllInNow: Even the first ruling wasn't clear. He was calling 17, not 22. He pushed 17( I believe). Like I stated, he is responsible for what he verbally agreed (17).
Ultimately he shouldn't have started whining after the cards are exposed, he only becomes angry when he realised he is dominated. If he was up against 9s or under etc he would have been ecstatic.
yup. well said. this is truth.
Wish you could multiple thumbs up. What a knob for only causing a scene after the cards were exposed. Just embarrassing himself on poker's biggest stage.
an he said his eyesight wasn't the best lol
Yeah I would give a lot more credibility to his argument if he got upset before the cards were turned and wanted to take it back before. He was clearly ok with it until he saw the cards. They made the correct decision here.
Zero empathy for Dario - ppl are crazy if they don't see him trying to play an angle here

The floor man should have asked the guy if he wanted to call or not. That would have avoided this entire controversey. It's true that the guy didn't protest but he also didn't speak English very well and the cards were turned over a few seconds after the floor mandated the call.

New Poker Life podcast to discuss the WSOP Main Event Final Table & More - Monday 2pm EST w/ high stakes crusher and new WSOP bracelet winner Dan Zack!
Dario only became visibly upset when he saw that he was behind in the hand. I watched this hand over and over. We all know that if he was calling 22 if it had been 22. They even showed the rule in the book that you have to pay attention even if the dealer makes a mistake you should know what is going on.
But asking the dealer the count is making sure what's going on. The dealer is who verifies. Would have had a better argument to do it pre show. But imo the proper ruling would be call the 17 that the dealer told you it was. The dealer is like a referee so they should rely on the dealer.
@@vanacupanther True but you know these poker pros can count chips with their eyes closed. Dario only got upset when he saw what he was up against. I am sure he knew the exact count. Like Jack said, it's a game of observation... Yes the dealer counted incorrectly but Dario knew what was on the table. Also Jack was correct, not in his approach, but Dario had 62M.... if he is calling 17M he is calling 22M.
@@vanacupanther The rule book determines what should happen in that situation; the player needs to put in the actual amount, not the amount that the dealer says. The players agree to play according to the rules.
Yep, and it would have been a lot easier to let him retract the call and think about it knowing the true amount. But once those cards are tabled all bets are off.
Or hold him to the 17…
I do believe it's up to him to A) confirm the amount played B) mistakes are made by the dealer, so you need to be sure. The other thing is he was fine with the call at 22.5 mil, It was only till he saw his 10's were going to lose to his Q's. Then he makes a fuss. I think the right call was made.
There's no way. The responsibility is on the establishment period. They're the professionals whose profession it is to run all games fairly without mistakes. He challenged before flipping the cards. They said he accepted the action, told him to flip over, he sees, if course he's mad... but if he had not challenged and it just rolled to him and they said 'mistake, it's 22.5m' and he said ok anyways then I agree... but he challenged it period.
@@chuckdeuces911 You have no clue about poker. Players share responsibility to make sure things are correct. The dealer is not perfect. In your silly scenario, there would be nothing but angle shooters and arguments.
@@chuckdeuces911 you need a poker lesson
bro it is not the player's responsibility to count the chips. Thats why there is a dealer. You can't count the all in chips every time.
He meant "you called the all in, doesn't matter if it was 17 or 22" he accepted the action after he found out it was 22 for a 2nd time, then they turned over the cards and he backtracked
Right. He didn't mean it strategy wise. At least I didn't take it that way. Plus Jack is sick of dealing with these boohooing players. You didn't know the rules? Tough shit, thats on you, hoss. He's arguing a clearly stated rule...plus he agreed until he saw his dick was smashed in a vice. In my eyes, Dario looks the worst here trying to redo a hand he was clearly calling and losing. 🤷♂️
This 💯
When he says “you call 17, you call 22” what he’s really saying is “you called 17, which means you actually called 22.” He’s making the ruling not needling.
Basically agree w david williams interpretation.
No he didn't.... He was rationalizing.
@@Nathancl22 was he rationalizing? Don't get me wrong, he was a little blunt and could have handled it better. But I took it as you called $17mill but it was a miscount, now unfortunately that means you call the 22.
The reason I interpret it as such is because he said just before that, the miscount does not matter. There could have been 30mill in the middle, dealer could have said the count is 3mill and you call, you're on the hook for the 30.
It is an unfortunate scenario, but it was handled correctly if not in a somewhat blunt matter. The other table is still going, people are effectively losing blinds while your table is being stalled out by this decision. You cannot afford to let this discussion drag on. A ruling is made, no ifs, ands, or buts and you move on. Otherwise the whole table gains from Dario arguing
I thought he meant if you were going to call 17 you probably were going to call 22 as well.
@@RealAnthonyJones this isn't the point, i get that 17.2 and 22.2 are close. yes that's true. eiffel even says at the end if the "dealer called a bet 3 mil but was 22.2 samartino would be on the hook for 22.2". the rule itself is the problem here. according to rules that are in place for some bat shit stupid reason dealers aren't actually in charge of bet amounts in the WSOP (they are in most local casinos and any house game i play in though, since it's common sense). eiffel and these bums make enough money that they have no real reason to give a shit though, which comes right out in his explanation to samartino. the only way this stuff would get fixed is if the top end public eye type players (negreanu etc) made a stand till this shit gets fixed. want to see another fun eichel/eiffel "ruling" see the gail baumann-koroknai hand from a few years ago. utter garbage. the top end players need to be more stand up humans rather than just be content to know how much ROI they have in the WSOP and get this shit fixed rather than just play on knowing how disturbingly bad the system set up is in some spots.
@@jasonbatteiger2421 it's the same if you play blackjack. If you have 20, and the dealer tells you you have 15, so you hit and bust, it's the player who's at fault for not knowing they had 20. Personally I see nothing wrong with the rule. Players are responsible for information that is openly available to them. Especially if it's a known rule that the player is responsible in these situations, they should pay more attention to everything.
It sucks but Jack is right. Had the cards been flipped with Dario with the QQ he would have said nothing obv.
Ifhe it's not the most relevant argument because QQ is an easy call for 22. But the fact he is arguing about it after the cards are turned AND the flop is out means he can't come back from it. But the hands flipped argument is kind of redundant imo
Although I have now got to the point in the video where it seems she didn't give them a chance before the flop
But the incident influenced his call. He might have want to think about it but misunderstanding with the dealer might have influence his final call. But in the end the cards were laid already
listen from 12:46
this ruling couldn't be any more clear, it's a call.
Jack is absolutely right.
I agree. Jack was right.
People who know poker = correct decision. Everyone questioning it and causing drama = chump.
What would be fair in a perfect world is...Dario puts the 17 mill in the middle and the guy who went all in should hold 5 mill back and play for the supposed 17 mill all in.
The Green Bike Rider correct decision doesn’t always mean fair decision tho. Unfortunate things happen

@@wilsonfeist5485 Argue his point instead of being a dick.
Dario had a legitimate argument if the cards weren't exposed. After they're exposed? Of course not.
He snap called, thinking he is ahead. Didn't even spend any time to reconsider his calling/folding decision. Thus, complaining about the remaining 1/3 of his calling chips..AFTER...his see his opponent cards and realizing he is way behind is....silly.
He called the 17bb regardless. He can then fold the remaining 5bb PRE unexposed. Which of course means he will call all of it. He should be given the option to fold everything above 17bb tho, or the size of the stack he pushed forward if ≥17bb. So if the effective stack happens to be 100bb in some scenario, Dario could potentially call 17bb and fold the rest pre unexposed. But this is not the rules are.
no he did not. once he called everyone know he has to call. ultimately it is his responsibility to know what she has.
@@pahakuutti thats not fair though to say to marchington "even though you announced all in and pushed all your chips forward youre not entitled to a full call."
Good point
It’s very clear, the 17/22 line isn’t a needle. At 15:35 - Jack explains how the rule works - even if the count error as egregious like 10x (3M vs 30M), the call would stand for 30M. Dario points out 17/22 affects his decision, Jack responds it doesn’t matter (which by his explanation of the rule, it doesn’t).
Jack’s direct, abrupt and not showing empathy. He could be annoyed but it is likely in part to end the situation, protect his dealer and floor managers.
Why does it work like that though? In any other business or event or sports game we all have roles. Clearly the dealer or by extent the casino is at fault. Now I dont know how this should be solved to be honest. Dealers are humans and make mistakes. Casinos do take in rake though to cover not only the costs of running the casino in normal terms but to cover their risks.
The rules are clear though. And I assume that although most people won't read the rules, once youre this deep you've read them one of the nights in the bedroom at the hotel.
@@ActionableFreedom I think they could’ve been nicer lol I’m kind of pissed finding out all my fav players are banned. like wtf happened to stealth munk
Zero sympathy for Dario. Didn’t say a thing until the cards were flipped.
He even accepted the call after the amount was called to 22 then reveled is cards wich is an aditional all in call sign. This guy is a big baby
Zero sympathy for people in comment sections. If you don't want someone to be upset and complain, don't make the mistake in the first place. This isn't about results oriented action. It's correct to try and save your extra couple million here regardless when someone else fucks up. Just don't make mistakes in spots this important, dealers.

3:30 "so right there..." enough said!
The dude said fuck it and was okay with proceeding until he saw he was getting it in bad.
He shouldnt have had to say fk it, thats what you say when someones making you do something you really didnt want to do.
Had he voiced his complaint BEFORE flipping the cards over I might side with him on this one. The fact that he seems to have no issue with the situation until he sees he's a 4-1 dog, I can't empathize with him anymore because he was attempting to take a shot. Imagine if he saw he was ahead, had no issue, then got sucked out on if he would complain then. That's in a sense what he's doing here.
I concur. If he'd asked for a ruling BEFORE the cards were shown, I'd side with him (even though I agree it was a bad decision by the official). You can't wait to see where you stand and THEN complain.
Absolutely agree.. he tried to play the system and lost. BOO F'N HOO!
@@stephenhenley7452 the only reason I agree with the ruling but the official is because the rule itself states how this situation is handled. Whether I agree with the rule itself is another discussion, but they got the correct call in the end.
This Massively
Disagree. I think he can’t speak English well so couldn’t defend himself
The only way he’d have an argument was if chips were hidden and he couldn’t see them on her announcement. This is entirely on him. Not having any idea where people are this deep into the Main Event is absolutely ludicrous. Also one could make the argument his hand at 22 million could have a wider range than 17 and it just so happened QQ was his hand. He made that call expecting to be ahead or at worst a coin flip.
As a former floor man
1. Accepted action is a rule at most casinos. It is the players responsibility to know what they're calling, regardless of what anyone else says.
2. Jack is not needling him. He's simply stating that if you called 17 but the bet was 22, you have to call 22.
3. Jack has to keep it short because by the time he's been called he has to assume it's been a long while and there's a clock running and another table playing.
4. If anyone might get an ethical slap on the wrist it's Sammartino. He had to have known the dealer was making a mistake and never attempted to correct her. Nothing in the rules, but he fully took advantage of the dealers mistake.
He didn't care until he saw the cards. Should've complained before the showdown
Kevin Dague exactly. It’s so clear.
yeah pretty clear that he's a little disappointed before hand, but still crunches the numbers real quick and accepts it with that acknowledging nod/acceptance after floor announces it will be a call -- until he see's the cards.
Which part did the floor say that if he complained before the cards were shown he could keep the extra 5 million? Lol I honestly don’t understand ur guys point. He was always gonna get screwed of the 5 million no matter when he stated his issue. He called the 17 so they made him call the 22. They never said anything close to him keeping his 5 million extra if he stated his problem earlier lol
Dylan Umpherville that’s not the point we are trying to make. What we are trying to say is that the realization that he was dominated pre flop made him suddenly challenge the dealers mistake. In other words, he would not have been so vocal if he had the dominating hand pre flop. It’s understandable though, you’re fine with everything up until you realize you’re dominated but it’s not very classy imo. To me it was just so obvious that he wouldn’t have complained at all if his opponent had deuces. P.S. it’s been a while I have played poker so I do apologize in advance if I have said something that doesn’t make sense. I am only trying to help Dylan understand the point I was trying to make.
Chirag Lakhani at the end of the day he payed for someone else’s mistake. He wanted to call 17 and did when he only put that much chips into the pot but they made him pay 22. U can judge his character if u want but I think he would of been fine winning or losing the 17 million chips
I've been playing poker for a long time. Dealer error is irrelevant. It's each player's responsibility to keep track of the action.
Correct, but he asked 3 times for the count, asked for the chips to be seperated so HE could count them. And was told incorrectly. And players do not have to disclose their amount. So you'd be correct if the guy shoved, dealer said ''17.5'' and he called.
he asked 3 times for the CORRECT count, he asked if they could be spread so HE could count them - neither of these met - incorrect ruling.
@@NoNoNoNopeNopeNopeNo....then why does the other players knew the count was incorrect and corrected the dealer and he doesn't...this explains the ruling that he has to be responsible to keep track of acrtons within the table...end of story...
Lets see if you're around in 5years kid
Not always, I was at a table the other night and someone meant to straddle but the dealer announced raise. It came around to me and I called, straddle raises. I call the floor and tell them I called because I was under the impression I was closing the action because the dealer announced raise, my appeal was granted and money returned.
Would be still ok the rule if the player was blind? If not, then the rule is unfair.
Now if a 10 came on the flop.......It's ok Jack all good here, no worries
Or a five on the River.

Exactly. Just looking for a way out.
he didnt put the extra chips in though, he thought he was calling 17

He was perfectly cool with it until he saw the cards
exactly. He would have been real quiet if it went the other way. I'm not gonna say he shouldn't have called so quick, because that's his prerogative, but the fact he did means he's fucked.

It could have been reitorical. Like he was talking to himself.
But then he made his bet/called which moves the game forward. In choosing to act he is indicating he is aware of what is happening even if the count is wrong. Kinda feel bad for him but no one called the clock on him. He had all the time he wanted to gather info before making his move.
5 million is a big mistake.
@@leodwinak I see your point but like you said he made his bet and he called with it, understandably 5 million is a big difference in poker but whether it was a miscount or not he still called so it's a heads up situation

The floor 100% absolutely made the right call. It's a player's responsibility to know the rules of the tournament they're about to play.
Where are said rules posted? I would agree with you if everyone was handed a rule book, but they aren't.

@@llgg1668 that wouldn't have been fair to marchington though. To say to him "even though you clearly announced all in and shoved your whole stack forward, through no fault of your own, you're not entitled to everything you bet"
Actually all people might do this. Dealer did wrong and if 10 is reveal, he would be fine but didnt. Of course he could complain about that. Dealer’s fault first. Dont judge people sneaky. You also sneaky. Is sneaky bad? No. Dealer’s fault. 100%
If he called that quickly, who really believes he would’ve folded for another 25%. Plus he only complained once the cards were revealed
Exactly
with 22.5m he loses his chip lead so he is def taking more time to call and sometimes would fold 10s im sure 17m hes still the chip lead if loses.
Simple Ruling. He didn't flip out until he saw the Queens. Acceppted action is a Rule. How can you argue with the rules? Jack wasn't empathetic enough? It went on too long for a simple ruling
I don't think Jack came in hot. We heard the rule read by Norm and it was super straight forward. Jack may not have been super nice about it, but...
Nothing wrong here. They told him the rule multiple times and he kept bitching. Glad Jack kept the game going. PLUS Sammartino didn't start crying until AFTER the cards were turned up. Grab him some tissue and move on
But he called 17 million not 22 million!
Robert....you need to understand this. IT is the bettor/player responsibility to asses the betting or opponent chip count. Plus you still don't understand Ruben point. Would Dario give back 5 millions to the initial ALL IN player if he flopped a quad of 10s. He reacted weakly when he see he is facing QQ. He didn't even shown he needs time to determine if he going to call the 17.2 millions all in bet. Thus, why on earth he cares the extra 5 millions if he THINK he is ahead with his 10/10. He only complain...AFTER....he see his is behind before the flop. I been playing poker, cash and tournament for 20 years and the way I approach to this, does make a difference and lets go. Maybe I make a bad call and get lucky on the flop. If not, its call gamble and move on. If you don't like it, maybe poker or gamble is not for you. Stick to legal profession or where rules are more precious and clear.
@@yummytummy88 see you reaction is towards his responds after which is not the point here. The dealer said 17 million, he called 17 million. If that was incorrect the cards shouldn't been flip.

Good on the dealer for remaining professional and only responding to questions from the floor staff and ignoring the comments from the players.

@@michaellane9079 how is it a shitty rule? Pretty straight forward players are responsible to double check themselves what the stacks are before they call.
After rewatching this a second time Im starting to come to the conclusion that Dario didnt even deserve anywhere near as much work as the work that was put into the ruling, and the only reason he got help was because he made a huge fit about it. The fact that a poker player on the final table of the world series of fucking poker is trying to get a pity ruling is shameful.
I disagree, the house has to be perfect period. No mistakes, he should have only been in the pot for $17.5. They should have just run it for $17.5 and none of this would matter. The bettor and/or the dealer are responsible for each persons chips at the table. I'm not responsible for counting your chips. This is the exact same as buying a defective product at the store. That's the only reason we're in your facility, letting your people deal cards because you make money from doing such things so you have to be 100% responsible for you business. If you have a credit card, you report it stolen, you turn it off online, then someone makes a request for money with that cards information no matter who takes it, the card should be held liable. That's their business. They promise the safety of nothing going wrong, no matter what.
@@chuckdeuces911 If you go to Walmart to buy engine oil or something and the employee accidentally points you to the wrong product are they held responsible for what happens to your car/project? Obviously not. It is your responsibility to ensure that everything that you are doing is correct.
Same thing with the dealer. The dealer is someone who is authorized by the house to deal cards. Getting a count is another service that the house provides, however under no terms does the house guarantee the accuracy of the count. You are responsible as a player to maintain stack awareness at all times, regardless of what the dealer says. The dealer is not held liable for the accuracy of the count, nor is it guaranteed to be accurate. The house isn't liable for the dealer because they are hosting a game, you are partaking in it. 100% of all major orgs/sports/events clarify that just because you are unaware of what's happening doesn't mean that it's their fault.
Finally ignoring the fact that it's a mistake that most definitely cost him the tournament, he is at a level where he is well aware of the specifications of rules, including the one that says that all actions are final and cannot be changed.
Rules like this are in the game for reasons, and this is one of them. The amount of angles that can be shot by having perfect house coordination is insane. If he had actually thought he was ahead he could have made a complaint like this and had the action overturned, and honestly HE KIND OF DID. After he missed the flop he became noticeably more upset and started pushing for the ruling more. If he really was that upset about it he would have raised his concerns before the flop hit.
His responsibility was to observe the dealer as she did the chip count. He didn’t. Too bad for him, but this is not a tough situation. He called the full amount.
@@MrJamberee This is what I like to hear. The fact that this ever turned into an argument makes no sense. This guy is a professional acting like he's in a shoddy home game series.
Watch the river be a 10 and he changes his mind “alright guys, I did call, my bad, let it slide, let me collect my chips”
Here is the key to me. Notice when he flips his cards and notice when he stands up to complain. He didn't start complaining until after he saw the cards. He was wrong through and through.
Perfect response from the VP. The guy wanted to argue with the dealer and three floor managers - someone has to come down and shut down the issue and call it over. Done.
Yeah except for that last comment. Totally ridiculous statement
he had a legitimate reason to argue, get off the high horse.

For those with a problem with Jack's 'attitude' towards the situation, you need to understand that Dario was told by 3 different people the exact same rule and was holding up the game. Jack went in there, said the exact same rule and got play to continue. It's not fair to the other players that Dario continues on after being told multiple times the exact same thing. Great job by Jack and the staff.

That was the most valid argument for his original thoughts. 22 or 17 he would've called either way in my opinion.
him saying that implies the specific amount is important and may have an impact in his decision. he could've eyeballed the stack and snap called if the difference between 17 and 22 didn't matter.
The rule is clear: it's an accepted action. Meaning: It's player's responsability to know if they are given a good count or bad count. By saying "call" instead of "count again please", you are accepting the bad count of the chips, that's why Jack said "You're calling 17, you're calling 22". And, by the way, what is Jack doing with his hand is "dont believe what you're told, believe in your own eyes, and YOUR OWN EYES ONLY".

@@andrewturner3147 He didn't ask for the floor. Did you even watch the video?

David Williams explained what Jack meant to say. This ruling was so simple. It's the same with forward action. You cant make a motion forward, then pull it back.
exactly
Dario is a fool there. Dario is taking advantage on the dealers miscount. If he is ahead in flop. He will not do this. Just when the time that he know he is loosing he started to cry
bla bla bla bla
Sammartion is wrong. If you have a problem the way the dealer counted the chips you say something prior to turning you cards and seeing the other players hole cards.
I got a million dollars that says he would of never said a word if the other player showed 99, 88, K/J or even 10/10.
This is old as hell now, but I can’t believe Dario didnt know almost exactly how much Marchington had.
As a professional Poker player, it is your job to know how much is in your opponents stack when playing No Limit or even Pot Limit. And this is true even if youre playing a $2/5 cash game. 11 left in the WSOP Main you really have no excuse for not knowing how much an opponent has.
Every professional knows that mistakes sometimes happen, so much like protecting your cards, you have to protect yourself from mistakes and know exactly what the rules are and what the circumstances are.
15:40ish VP says "she could say there's 3millions but there be 30millions out there, you still would be held to the same rule" .. so no, its not about the play calling 17mill (you would had called 22mill also). Secondly, he dont start complaining or make a case until the cards are revealed (would he done same if opponent show pocket 99 ?).
This is very much how I feel about it. He's not saying Dario would call 22 million every time, he's saying if you put your chip forwards as an action to call and there's 22 million in front of you, it doesn't matter what the dealer told you or what you think you are calling, you are being put in for having called that all-in. That said, VP could work on his empathy skills, but they are probably taught to not leave any room for interpretation with a ruling, and to avoid apologies so it's not used as some weird admission of guilt.
Griffin Benger in response: Dario should have checked his privilege...
: Maaaaan this guy wouldn't be saying sh*t if it was AK instead of QQ.
Unless the flop was A73, then he'd ask for help too :)
It was VERY clear that the boss meant that if he called the 17,then he had actually called the 22,so he had to put 5 more in. It WASN'T a needle, it's what he meant. You CAN'T shortcall the actual amount of the bet if you have more chips.
This is how I see it as well.
No, he was implying it made no difference in his decision. It was a needle. Cut it out.
@@ScottiMusicNow no it was not a needle stop being dramatic
@@ScottiMusicNow No, it's actually the rule in poker. Like William said, you can't shortcall.
If you advance 1 chip, meaning that you call, it's like you're advancing 50 milion if that's what it takes to call.
Rules are clear as the suits on the cards. "You" as a player contemplating a call are responsible for knowing what the action in front of you entails. It even covers cases of a dealer mispeaking on a count. His motion to move chips across the line toward the center is a call which constitustes accepted action of an all in and not the responsibility of anyone other than the player to have the correct info. Video clearly shows pocket tens had no issue with the call til he saw he was smoked by the pocket queens. Tournament director was quoting the written part of the accepted action rule where it states if you announce a call verbally or present chips in an obvious motion representative of or consistent with any universally accepted motion understood to be representative of a call even if the call is of the incorrect amount regardless of where the incorrect information came from that you the player are responsible for the entire correct amount whether it be more or less than it actually is. It is intuitively understood that the less articulate expression of "you called the 17 your calling the 22" is both reference to the rule of accepted action, as well as being the final ruling on the dispute in accordance with the written rule of accepted action whereby it states that " if you called the 17, your calling the 22". That's the rule, as it is directed to be ruled, per the written rules of the WSOP that ironically are also the responsibility of each and every player entered into the event.
Purposely long winded to be irritating to the whiners, snowflakes and drama llamas chiming in without having all the information themselves 😆
Hey Joe! I was hoping that there was nothing about this that cost the dealer her job. She remained professional, albeit apologetic during this entire hand. I hope this didn't cost her, her job.
ugh. tournament dealers have it rough. likely no tips until the last 5 dealers in a tournament THIS big, too.
she made one tiny mistake at the biggest possible stakes and might never get to work a tv table again, just bc this dude is two-faced and decided to make a big deal after the fact
What Jack said, or could have rephrased, is you are obligated to call 22 even if you were told or suspected it was 17
This wouldn't be a controversy if AK was flipped over instead of QQ.
Everyone who thinks the floorman is needling is wrong. The floorman meant onced you say call, you ACCEPTED the action. So whether the chip count is 17 mil, 22 mil or 30 mil, you CALL THE AMOUNT OF CHIPS that is LAID OUT in front of the player you CALLED.
Thats the correct ruling and reasonably so.
-1- The chips were in plain view, no chips were hidden from sight (alec torelli style)
-2- Once you say call OR toss your chip in, its a call
-3- It's the player responsibility to make sure its correct (imaging how many more ANGLES will be open up if DEALER is responsible and allow you to take back calls, etc... IT'LL BE A BIG MESS
with all that being said, I wish the floorman would be more clearer what he meant and a little bit less rude.
I was asked about this in my TH-cam livestream (from the perspective of a poker employee). A little known fact about supervisors making floor rulings is that they try to recap the main point of the ruling at the end before leaving. In this case, Jack's comment was shorthand supervisor talk, reiterating the rule that states "if you call 17, you call 22." It was a TERRIBLE decision of Jack to use the shorthand supervisor language in this case, but nonetheless, he was actually saying that the rule states that if you call 17 in that case, you are forced to call 22. He was not intending to say it from the poker decision perspective. He deserved the criticism from the way people interpreted that, but he was not saying the thing people heard it as.
That's what I thought he was saying anyway.
Yeah I felt like it was quite obvious that was his intention
I dont think thats implied at all. Multiple times Jack says to Dario that he's 'not going to talk his way out of this' implying he's not even hearing him out. Even mocking him with that 'weird' hand motion crap. 100% it was a needle. I do agree with Dario in this spot 17 & 22 million are different enough amounts to warrant a different decision. I also think Dario makes this call even if the correct amount would've been said initially.
Don't know how I missed this one at the time - I love seeing the Poker goss!
The big issue here is that Dario only really starts objecting after he sees he's behind. I don't think he's conciously thinking this, but subconciously he's wishing he didn't make the call because he's behind, so he's more annoyed than he would be at the error and thus highlighting it.
If Dario had asked for action to be held or stopped pre-showdown in order to rectify the situation, he'd have a lot more of a leg to stand on about not necessarily calling the bigger raise.
But, you don't know for sure what he's thinking. And, Dario didn't have time to stop the action. Notice the floor man rule that the call stands. And, then the cards are immediately turned over. The floor man should have asked Dario if he still wanted to call or not. This would have avoided this entire controversy.
”you're calling 17, your calling 22” -- I don't think he meant it like the way they thought. He was saying that that was the ruling, not saying that's how the player would play the hand.
I think he meant something else. While he didn't mean the extreme version which is "if you can call 17 big blinds, then you can call 22 big blinds, they're practically the same," what he meant was more subtle: "if you only put in 17 big blinds expecting to risk that much, but now it's determined that the rules state you would have to put in all 22 big blinds, even if I give you the option to fold now and save your 5 big blinds, you wouldn't take it, you would call the 22 as well now that you have already called the 17."
This is a high quality video, just look how good the quality of this clip.
Adam Chen This comment cracks me up
Very high quality
Jack took care of the situation as a father would to his whiny son. Grow up Dario
He is absolutely OUT of line. The time to complain was prior to the cards being relieved. He was mad because the action was not in his favor. It’s his responsibility.
Bruh there is a rule for this exact situation, why is everyone so mad
i think it's the provocative face-scrubbing hand gesture which is unfortunate. it's the official's way of emphasizing the prime importance of observation OVER her wrong report, but it plays to the audience like an arrogant insult which i do not believe it is.
Because people make money with TH-cam.
Not much of a controversy. Dude called, saw that he was in trouble after the cards were shown and then got pissed off.
yes it is a problem the retarded dealer needs to count out the right amount
Maybe but calling 27 bigs with tens most likely doesn’t happen.
You're obviously slow. Clear as day the dealer created this massive mistake.
@@p215j Check the rules Einstein. It's the players responsibility to know what's in the pot. What a dumb-ass.
I don't really have too much sympathy, Jack is correct saying the amount doesn't matter because of the rule, not the amount.
sadly thumbs down don't count on youtube
Even with 22k, he would've call. He only flips when he sees his hand got beaten by QQ. Such a sore loser
When the flop came T72
Dario : its 22 mil not 17
Ive seen this kind of similar behavior in the casino in any form of games year after year
I have terrible eyesight and would have gone by what the dealer said because I have to. Unfortunate situation.
agree, too many bad dealers
agree, terrible dealers
no it's the horrible rule here. you are exactly right, if your vision isn't great (or chips are stacked wrong, or chips are hidden behind stacks, or under them) somehow YOU are the one responsible for a bet; this means according to WSOP's own rules the dealer doesn't actually run the game, and what they say means nothing officially in these instances. local casinos are often run better than this (any house game i'm in for sure does too)
@@jasonbatteiger2421 So what if that poor eyesight made you misread your hand? Should you not be held accountable for the cards in play either? There's a reason they put the responsibility on the player...to prevent angle shooting. Many rules that are in place, are in place to protect the integrity of the game.
15:17 Her face really shows someone who is having a really rough day at work. Poor woman.
I deal poker. I have never been in a situation like this. But i have been in a situation where i made a mistake and it feels like shit.
I deal as well. I've dealt the WSOP for 15 years, I've done 13 televised final tables, including 3 Main Events. The dealer has an earbud. The producer/director knows exactly the amount of chips that everyone has, especially this deep in a tournament this prestigious. They should be in her ear telling her exactly what the all-in is, just to prevent this exact situation. I'm not sure why they weren't or why she didn't listen, but it's still a visual game. A call is a call
Homeboy called so damn fast after dealer said 17.2, there’s not a snowball’s chance in Hell he was going to fold. If I were going to play in the main event you could be damn sure I’d read the rules. Good job Jack.
Dishonest play by Sammartino. You're still gonna call. If 99 is tabled there's no argument.
Learning It Quietly objection !! Move to speculation!!🧐
You calling 17 you calling 22 is absolutely right, you tell me you gonna fold your hand if opp bets 5mil all in on the flop after you already called 17?
That's missing the point completely, as this hand involved an all-in and a call pre-flop.
@@jjreed787 he is and he isn't. In that spot it an all in or fold dario knew this and tried to angle his way out. If other guy flips 78 over ratio says zero..
@@jjreed787 i guess you dont play poker, assume he called preflop 17, opp has 5 left, nobody will fold a 5 c bet unless you know you have 0% chance winning
Khoi Hoang agreed... Even if beaten, 5 Mil.... Is already pot committed (not how it went down... But he would have called with his 10's 100% of the time, even after q's revealed). Okay to say, calling 17=calling 22; he called the bet, regardless of dealer mistake on the count!
@@Godzilla_in_ħëll That's not what I'm saying at all. But you're twisting this scenario around into a hypothetical that didn't happen.
Would he have still called the full 22 pre flop had he known the amount? Almost certainly. But he asked for a count, and the dealer got it wrong. I can understand the frustration.
But don't change things around to fit your narrative. For somebody accusing others of not playing poker, you seem to have a tenuous grasp, at best, of this situation.
There was no need for a 30 minute video. Zero controversy. The rules couldn’t be more clear, and in a massive tournament, you kind of have to follow the rules. Dario was absolutely angling.
Shut up john
If the flop had a 10 on it or if Livingston had had 99, he wouldnt have complained.
He should have complained before the flop was dealt, and the hands were faced up, he had time there to complain, but he didnt.
So very poor acting by Dario.
yah if he dominates the opponent, I don't think he'll complain..
He just insta called 17, but he would have folded if he heard it was 22 ... right? Yeah, sure.
A rule is a rule, he called that's it. And to me Jack doesn't have to apologize, he needs to be firm or else a lot of players will try to negociate a ruling.
Hear Hear Pats!
Pats S Amen
If we really want to be technical about it he didn't put in enough chips too make a call and never said call so how could it be considered a call... Of course he on started whining after they were shown but technically he didn't call
I'm not 100% sure on WSOP rules, but in most poker tournaments you only need to put 1 chip in for it to count as a call. The size of the bet is irrelevant, if you put any chips in you call the bet
Revisiting this if they want the players to be responsible thats fine but make a rule that says the player has to stack their chips in denominations of 20 so
There is less confusion.
Listen closely when Saammartino asks for a count. Dealer says "about 28 big blinds or so" but Cai says "22?" He heard Cai say 22 because he is sitting right beside him. He heard the dealer which conflicted with what Cai said. Rather than asking for another count, he snap calls. Rather than checking for himself, he calls. Then, he does not object when the recount is done. The dealer announces the mistake, The floor is instructed of the mistake and announces it will be a call. Sammartino shakes his head yes as to acknowledge it. Case closed. You agreed to continue until you saw the flop and it was not favorable to you... Also, rules are rules and a "professional" player should know the rules of the game they are a professional of. Rules state you need to be alert and aware and dealer mistakes are no excuse for you not being alert and aware.
Wtf are you talking about?? First of all the lady that announced about 28 big blinds was the announcer not the dealer. Period. Second of all he did have her count it a second time he didn't snap call. I don't know what video you watched
Nothing quite like Papi commenting on live poker drama.
Amit Kale - he is the best at getting fired up
From the time they realized the count was wrong to when they resumed the hand was over a minute... he had plenty of time to protest before continuing, but didn't until he saw the QQ
