The tournament staff has made several announcements concerning the use of cell phones at the PCA. The rule here is that music and video are permitted at the table, but any texting/tweeting/facebooking must be done a few steps away from the table. It's an unpopular rule to say the least, but most of the players have been heeding the warnings, or at least texting inconspicuously enough not to draw attention.
It took more than five hours, but we've finally seen someone get a penalty for cell phone use. The victim? Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier.
The good news is he now has one orbit of free time to get all his texting done.
