Richard Brodie has posted a very entertaining account of his entry into the Bay 101 World Poker Tour Event.
Five was Moneymaker and sitting next to me in seat six was the beautiful Evelyn Ng, like my wife Shortstack from Toronto only taller. Evelyn had appeared in the Ladies Night episode of World Poker Tour. I complimented her on the nice segment they had done of her and former boyfriend and mentor Daniel Negreanu in the swimming pool. Although it was cold in the tournament area she wore a clinging cutoff tee leaving her slender midriff devilishly exposed in a blatant attempt to put her opponents on tilt. I was prepared and had a counter-strategy, which was not to look at her except under very special circumstances, like if it wasn't my turn to act or something.
He also talks about an incident where a player flipped over her hand (illegal in tournaments), and subsequently made a winning call although she was given a 10-minute penalty. I hope that tournament directors get more strict about notifying players of the no-show rule, and enforce it by killing shown hands; I have to agree with Matusow that a 10-minute penalty does not seem enough. If players think they get away with showing their hand in a crucial situation to determine whether to call or not, and only get a 10-minute penalty, it doesn't seem likely the rule will be diligently followed. Although personally I think showing cards should be allowed, if it's not allowed the rule should be strictly enforced.
The current TDA rules are unambiguous that a hand is not killed because of exposing the cards before action is complete. This seems like a very tough situation to codify. There is sometimes not much at stake and sometimes a player's whole tournament in the balance. Sometimes it is clearly intentional and sometimes intent is not so clear. Currently the tournament director may use discretion to select a penalty from a verbal warning all the way to disqualification.
