First Penalty Awarded
Rob Campbell has just received the first penalty of not only today's tournament, but also of the 2011 Aussie Millions!
Campbell approached our PokerNews reporter and explained that he assumed the tournament was ten-handed and counted two around believe he was in seat eight. Unfortunately for Campbell, the tournament is currently being contested eleven-handed, and consequently sat in seat nine.
With the Tournament Director being notified when the actual seven-seat player was confused, Campbell was forced to hit the rail for an orbit penalty.
For Campbell however, he isn't the only player to have experienced this fate as Tony "Bond18" Dunst approached the PokerNews blogging desk asking if we need a field reporter for a few minutes as he too sat in the wrong seat and was awarded a penalty.
When will poker players learn to count?
