The ‘Vos Rule’ In Effect

Nice Stack, Sir
Nice Stack, Sir
Players before the last break were asked to break their stacks down if they were too high, or could become ‘unstable’. Floor person Charlie Ciresi stopped by to let us know some of the players stacks were being broken down on the break, as they could become unstable, and possibly knocked over on a break….causing mass hysteria, or at least mild confusion.

Ciresi went on to mention this rule is called the ‘Mark Vos rule’, due to Vos’ penchant for stacking his chips in very high towers. Some players complained, but most went along with the plan. Vos currently has his 200k+ chip stack no more than 40 high, thank you very much.
