"These Online Donks"

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Kevin MacPhee - "Online donk"
Kevin MacPhee - "Online donk"

It all started when World Series of Poker bracelet winner Craig McCorkell opened to 700 in middle position. A player on his left three-bet to 1,600, and the action folded to Kevin MacPhee in the big blind. MacPhee used a red T1,000 chip to represent his big blind of 300, and he flicked the chip forward with his index finger.

"Is that a call?" the dealer asked.

MacPhee leaned forward in a strange, nod-like motion, prompting the dealer to ask him for an additional 600 chips. MacPhee objected, saying that he did not commit calling chips nor did he announce a call, and a floorperson was all over.

The floorperson was forced to call upon another tournament director, who came over and allowed MacPhee to pull his chip back and forfeit the big blind of 300.

The tournament director made his decision because MacPhee's action was "ambiguous."

McCorkell quickly folded, and after three minutes the hand was finally over.

"These online donks," EPT10 Barcelona Main Event winner Tom Middleton joked after the hand.
