Palma's Speech Play Gets a Fold and a Warning
Nível 24
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
As action folded around to Vincas Tamasauskas in the small blind, big blind Nick Palma said, "Be careful, I get my best hands in the big blind. I'll send you to the sixth floor."
The dealer admonished that he was not allowed to induce action. "How can I be inducing action? I don't even know what 'I'll send you to the sixth floor' means!"
The floor manager clarified that disclosing your hand or your opponent's hand is against the rules, but what Palma said technically wasn't. "You can't say, 'I have a big hand.' but you can say for example, 'I'll send you to the moon.'"
"Bang zoom!" replied Palma and play continued as Tamasauskas folded.
