"I Love Vicki"

A hand just developed that turned into a 12-way debate.

Robin Keston raised to 4,500 before Brandon Adams reraised to 12,000. Then the big blind, Jean Thorel, went to call the initial raise not seeing the reraise. It was pointed out to him pretty quickly, and he went to take his chips back. The floor was called to see if this was allowed and confusion seemed to arise as to whether he'd actually released the chips from his hand before retracting them.

The TD asked every player one by one if they thought he had released them. When it was Vicki Coren's turn to offer an opinion she said, "He's French and doesn't understand a word of English. If you want to take the 4,000 chips out of his stack it will take several minutes to explain why your doing it. Why don't we leave it as it is?"

This caused everybody at the table to erupt in laughter and all agreed this should be the correct ruling.
