There was some controversy as the 2019 World Series of Poker Main Event over the weekend, and it had the card-playing world buzzing about the ruling.
On Day 7, with 11 players remaining, Dario Sammartino raised to 1.7 million chips with his pocket 10s. Nick Marchington then went all in for 22.2 million with his pocket Queens.
But when Sammartino asked for the dealer to count Marchington’s chips to see if he wanted to call the bet, she mistakenly announced it was 17.2 million. Sammartino had called that bet and put in the chips to match it.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's James Anderson, 33, has become the winner of the 2019 World Series of Poker Event #75: $1,000+111 Little One for One Drop No-Limit Hold'em by outlasting a record-setting field of 6,246 to claim his first WSOP gold bracelet and a first-place prize of $690,686.

When the dealer realized the error, she called over officials to discuss what happened and the hand moved ahead. Sammartino began arguing that it wasn’t fair and that he might have acted differently if he knew it was five million chips more in the pot.
Eventually, WSOP VP Jack Effel came over and pointed to a rule that Poker News cited which forced Sammartino to match the 22.3 million chips:
Poker is a game of alert, continuous observation. It is the caller’s responsibility to determine the correct amount of an opponent’s bet before calling, regardless of what is stated by the dealer or participants. If a caller requests a count but receives incorrect information from the dealer or participants, then places that amount in the pot, the caller is assumed to accept the full correct action & is subject to the correct wager or all-in amount.
Fellow pro Alex Livingston — who’s still in at the final table — tweeted his thoughts. He understood the ruling, sympathized with the dealer, but took issue with one of Effel’s comments, in which he said, “If you’re calling 17, you’re calling 22.”

Despite losing the hand, Sammartino will start action on Monday in 5th (23.1 million) with just five players remaining.
LAS VEGAS -- The 2019 World Series of Poker main event has reached a critical stage of the tournament, with only 106 players left to contend for poker's world championship and $10 million.
Wednesday was moving day, and it couldn't have gone much better for Timothy Su. After a rush of cards in the final hour of play on Day 5, the Boston native bagged 19.235 million -- putting him in a tremendously advantageous position as a chip leader holding 60 percent more chips than Sam Greenwood, who finished the night in second with 11.95 million.
For his part, the stakes at hand shouldn't challenge Greenwood; as an experienced high roller player with over $18 million in career tournament results, he'll be well suited to handle the stage and the bright lights of this event. Antonio Esfandiari, who won the $1 million buy-in Big One for One Drop at the 2012 WSOP (and has over $27 million in lifetime earnings), is similarly acclimated to the spotlight, although he'll start Day 6 a little bit further back, in 29th with 6.63 million.

Another story to keep an eye on is the run of Daniel Hachem, the son of 2005 WSOP main event champion Joe Hachem. He continued to build his stack on Day 5 as well, bagging 6.765 million heading into Thursday's action.
While it was a good day for those 106 players still in contention, almost 250 players saw their main event dreams come to an end along the way Wednesday. Former All-Pro New England Patriots defensive lineman Richard Seymour was eliminated late in the night, finishing 131st and earning $59,295 for his run. Familiar faces like Tom Cannuli (354th), Jay Farber (339th), Joseph Cheong (209th) and Mike Matusow (199th) won't be making a return run to the WSOP main event final table this time around.
Aurora, Illinois' Jill Bryant won last woman standing honors for 2019, but her WSOP main event run ended in 116th place. Her $59,295 cash tops her previous best cash of $14,524, which she earned alongside a WSOP Circuit ring this past February.
