No Straddle, No Chips
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel just took a seat to the right of Thomas Muehloecker and was trying to convince the table to start straddling, or blind raising in a tournament. James Lee wouldn't comply but opted to shove all in for around 17,000 from under the gun instead. The action folded around to Thomas Muehloecker in the big blind who called.
James Lee: 
Thomas Muehloecker: 
The board ran out 
and Muehloecker's pair of sevens held on to eliminate Lee. On the next hand, Philippe Souki put out the 2,400 "straddle' but folded to a raise.
Next up was Benjamin Lebor who was confused at was taking place. He just followed instructions and put the 2,400 on and the action proceeded.
