Nanos Loses 1/3 of His Stack After Missing His Big Blind

blaisebourgeois

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/75,000, 75,000 ante

In the first hand back from break, Konstantinos Nanos was the big blind and had to commit 150,000 of his remaining 460,000 chips to fulfill the big blind and the ante.

However, he would not get the opportunity to defend. Despite being on the other side of the rail, he was speaking with someone and was unaware that the tournament had restarted. Although Arnaud Enselme attempted to get his attention, it was too late and his cards had already been mucked.

He then asked the table why nobody tried to get his attention to which only Enselme responded: "I tried."

To add insult to injury, Vittorio Maugini ended up getting a walk in the small blind. Who knows if this is the beginning of the end or a blessing in disguise?
