Jogue com responsabilidade. As apostas podem causar dependência.
The chip-bagging process at the end of a day of tournament poker is far from a precise science. PokerStars Blog takes a look at how mis-reporting can occur and reveals why the player at the top of the counts may not always be the real chip leader.

There was a commotion at Table 9 in the back of the tournament room. When we arrived, the floor staff at the scene was awaiting assistance from a superior. What had started with a simple raise and reraise, quickly turned into an interesting situation.
Pascal Hartmann had opened with a raise to 6,500 from the hijack seat, and then Jiachen Gong reraised from the cutoff seat to 16,500. But that's when everything that was "normal" about this hand stopped.
In the process of the next three players folding, the dealer also mucked the cards of Gong. The button had tossed his cards to the muck, but the cards of Jonas Christensen from the small blind and Saar Wilf from the big blind had been pulled together with the cards of Gong. This is why the floor staff had been summoned to the table. After supervising tournament staff member Luca Vivaldi arrived, the situation was explained and he told the table the plan of action.
Vivaldi verified with the dealer that he believed Gong's cards were amongst the six cards that included Christensen's and Wilf's, but were separate from the rest of the muck pile. Vivaldi's course of action was to speak with Christensen and Wilf privately off to the side of the table in order to get their exact holdings. If he could confirm those hands were in the pile of six, he would then ask Gong his exact cards. If his two were the remaining two cards, they would be awarded back to Gong and the hand would continue. Call it a reconstruction.
Vivaldi first spoke to Christensen, then looked in the pile of six, verifying Christensen's cards were indeed in there. He then spoke to Wilf, who admitted before that he might not exactly be able to remember his hand. Wilf mentioned he could remember the rank, but maybe not the exact suits. After Vivaldi got word of Wilf's hand, he looked in the pile, but couldn't verify Wilf's exact cards. Because of this inability to determine who held each of the six cards, Vivaldi ruled that Gong wouldn't get his hand back.
Hartmann now had the option to call or raise, knowing he'd then automatically win the hand as Gong didn't have cards. Instead, in what turned out to be an impressive sign of sportsmanship, Hartmann and Gong exchanged a few words that we couldn't hear and then Hartmann folded, giving Gong the pot. Gong collected the chips, shook Hartmann's hand, and thanked him, while the rest of the table and those watching commended Hartmann on handling the situation with class.

Former PokerNews hostess, and current WPT anchor, Lynn Gilmartin won the ladies event at EPT Barcelona earlier this week, and she opted to parlay her winnings into a Main Event ticket. Gilmartin managed to make the third day, the day during which the money will be reached, but unfortunately her run just ended about 50 places shy of the money.
Gilmartin raised to 7,000 on her last hand and Bulgarian pro Simeon Naydenov three-bet from the small blind to 20,200. Joep van den Bijgaart folded his big blind and Gilmartin quickly moved all in for about 90,000 chips. Naydenov made the call right away and the showdown went as following.
Gilmartin: 
Naydenov:
The board ran out 
, and with that Gilmartin's tournament run ended. Sad, but proud of her deep run, the Aussie exited the tournament room as she fell just shy of her first EPT Main Event cash.
"I'm probably cursed now," Naydenov said about busting out Gilmartin.
"Nobody will be happy that I busted her," Naydenov continued, "And I think I'm probably less than 1% to even make the money."
While Naydenov might think his fate is sealed after sending Gilmartin to the rail; his stack indicates that he's one of the contenders with about 300,000 chips.

Fredrik Jensen told us about a fun hand he just played. He limped in from the small blind with 
and Dietrich Fast checked from the big blind. The flop came 
with two diamonds and Jensen check called a bet of 4,000.
Both players checked on the turn and the 
popped up on the river, completing the flush draw and making for a straight on the board. Jensen bet out 12,000 and Fast tanked for a bit before making it 25,000. Jensen three bet to 58,000 and Fast instantly folded.
"Did you show?" we asked Jensen. "I had to. I couldn't control myself" Jensen laughed.
Fast doubled not much later though, making up for his lost chips. He shoved over a raise from Rocco Palumbo with
