To Love and to Honor, for Bad Beats or Bust Outs

The final table of the 20,000 HKD triple-chance no limit side event is taking place in the poker room at the same time the Main Event final table is playing out on the Grand Lisboa stage. A husband and wife both made the side event final table. Apparently, the wife just made quad tens in a large pot against her husband, and rather than risk eliminating him, she checked the final action in the hand with the nuts. Soft playing is, of course, not allowed in a tournament. She received a three-orbit penalty, one of the most severe you'll ever see in a tournament besides outright ejection. Who knows, though? She may have been saving herself from a far worse headache at home.
