Lim v. Tandoc, Round Two
On the flop of , Lim reaches for chips, grabbing roughly 10,000. As he reaches forward across the betting line, with the chips in his hand but before he can actually release the chips, Tandoc announces "all in". Lim quickly pulls his hand back, chips still in it.
Danny McDonagh is summoned for a ruling. The ruling is that since Lim appeared to have no intention of deceiving Tandoc, all that has happened is that Tandoc has acted out of turn. If Lim commits any less than the amount of Tandoc's all in, the raise will stand. If he moves all in himself for more than Tandoc's all in bet, than Tandoc will have an option again.
Lim considers what to do for about a minute before exposing his hand as . He's done it to try to get a read of Tandoc, in direct violation of the TDA rules. In fact, McDonagh made a special announcement about exposed cards at the beginning of the day. As a result, after Lim finally folds his hand (about a minute later), he's assessed an eight hand penalty. Four hands of the penalty were served today, four will be served tomorrow.
After the hand, Lim asks Tandoc what he had. Not one to miss a chance for a needle, Tandoc replies "King jack."
