@BBGreatMoments Nope, baseline isn’t established until a tag attempt is made. There’s no such thing as a “straight baseline” prior.

@PokerNews @WSOP 1) DEALER should’ve taken control!!
2) Caputo 100% confused. He called RDP.
3) Dealer should’ve made him put up $ to match RDP all in.
4) RDP persuaded a fold and shouldn’t have.
5) Caputo called RDP but not Moreira, and said “Yes” when RDP asked if he folded.
Correct Ruling.

@iam_johnw Do you know much about baseball? The outfielder clearly stopped to play the ball off of the wall. The ball getting lodged affected the outcome of the play. Easy call.
English

@Roger1stCFalls @Jdandress11 Most outfielders stay back off the wall and play the bounce off the wall, just like he did. When it got “lodged,” because you can see the padding wrinkled, it affected his play on the ball and interfered with the outcome of the play. That’s the reason for the rule. Good call!
English

@Roger1stCFalls @Jdandress11 You are just 100% wrong! It’s obvious you have no clue about baseball rules or what you’re talking about. It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Prosecution is coming… IMHO…
I used to help prosecute white collar crimes.. sometimes they pressed charges as a deterrent, not just because it was a crime..
Not saying anyone cheated, or has ever cheated in poker…
But…
if you’re thinking of cheating during the @WSOP in Nevada for any reason, here are some things you should consider..
1: it could be prosecuted as a felony in Nevada. NRS 465.070 – Fraudulent Acts
“It is unlawful for any person… to manipulate, with the intent to cheat, any component of a gaming device, equipment, or game outcome.”
This is a Category C felony punishable by:
•1–5 years in prison
•Up to $10,000 in fines
•Restitution to the casino

But Bob… no one was cheated if it was heads up and they agreed!
Yeah.. no …
NRS 465.083 – Cheating
“A person who, by fraudulent means, wins or attempts to win money or property at a game… is guilty of cheating.”
Applies to:
•Collusion
•Chip dumping
•Use of third-party promotional manipulation
•Any action that affects game fairness
Also a Category C felony with the same penalties.

2. You may not get your money and be banned for life from all Caesar’s properties ( and perhaps all WSOP events in other venues)
WSOP Rule: Rule 40 – Participant Conduct and Tournament Integrity
“All Participants must adhere to the spirit and letter of these WSOP Official Tournament Rules that forbid play or any action that is illegal, unethical or constitutes cheating in any form.”
Examples of violations under this rule:
•Collusion
•Chip dumping
•Soft play
•Signal sending
•Card marking or substitution
These apply regardless of table size (including heads-up) and are enforceable via disqualification, bans, and forfeiture of winnings.
Here is the link to the rules, look for 40

3: The gaming control board may get involved:
Think that WSOP wouldn’t press charges? Who knows… but The GCCB might…
NGCB can investigate and sanction individuals for cheating in any licensed casino event — including WSOP — and refer cases for prosecution.
If you’re playing in the WSOP, you are absolutely subject to NGCB regulations and Nevada criminal statutes. WSOP may run the tournament, but it does so inside a regulated gaming environment.
Anyway, in my opinion, it is inevitable that Poker cheaters will be prosecuted in the near future .
Properties, brands, online poker sites and players themselves are going to have to seek prosecution for deterrent reasons.
But what do I know… I’m a Seattle Seahawks fan and think we have a chance to win the superbowl…

@LSUBarstool It’s just about respect for the integrity of the game….respect your teammates, respect your coaches, respect your opponents, respect the game. That answer was none of the above. So, he got what the baseball gods bestowed upon him and what he deserved…humility!
English

@treywallace Agree! And we don’t care about LSU coach’s opinion!! Overrated LSU
English

@SECUnfiltered A better question would be, “How many people have ever umpired or read a baseball rule?”
English

@BenVerlander Simple. He just wasn’t mentally prepared right before the play. You learn early on in baseball to ask yourself, “What do I do with the ball if I get it.” It’s very difficult to maintain mental focus in high stress situations, which this obviously was.

Full Circle Moments
Vegas, 2016. I had $1,300 in my bank account and absolutely no bankroll for poker. But I did have a dream — to play my first ever World Series of Poker event.
The Colossus was $565. The cheapest bracelet event they offered at the time. I drove from Arizona up to the Rio, heart pounding, and walked the long hallway to register.
I was doing okay in the tournament. Nervous. Overstimulated. Buzzing with excitement. Then Kristen Bicknell (now Foxen) walked up to my table and took the empty seat across from me.
“Oh my god,” I thought. “That’s Kristen.”
She was one of my favorite female poker players — someone I looked up to, admired, respected. And now, I had to play against her?! I was so out of my league.
She was jamming all-in over and over again — probably short stacked, probably late reg’d — but I had no idea what any of that meant back then. I just knew she kept moving all in, and when she shoved on my big blind, I looked down at ace-three of spades.
I tanked.
Gut instinct told me to call. So I did. And… I knocked her out.
She looked up at me, smiled, and said, “Nice hand.” Then after standing up and putting her bag over her shoulder, she looked at me and added, “That was a really good call.”
She could probably tell I was new. Nervous. She didn’t have to say anything — but she did. And it meant everything.
Later that evening as we were nearing the soft bubble, I looked down at Ace-King under the gun with 12 bigs. I shoved. Another player reshoved. Pocket aces. I was toast — until the board ran out a straight, and we chopped.
Shortly after that, I went on to cash my first ever WSOP event. My name hit Hendon Mob for the first time. And I walked away from that tournament with what felt like a fortune. I even had my friend take a picture of me holding my $1,028 in cash.
Two years later, in 2018, I ended up behind Kristen in the Starbucks line at the Rio. I whispered to my sister, “That’s Kristen — she’s a badass sponsored pro.” My sister forced me to ask for a picture.
Kristen was so kind. She smiled, posed with me, and what floored me? She remembered the hand from 2016.
Now, it’s 2025. And I’m standing in the WSOP hallways chatting with friends — starting my 4th summer as a sponsored pro… when Kristin walks up to play the $100k.
Before she took her seat, I decided to ask for another picture.
Because in 2016, I was just a scared girl taking a shot she couldn’t afford, chasing the glimpse of a dream not fully imagined yet. And Kristen — a player I deeply admired — chose kindness. She didn’t have to say anything, but she did. And in that moment, she made me feel like I belonged.
It reminded me that a few words of encouragement, especially from another woman in this game, can echo for years. A moment she might not have thought twice about.
Sometimes one sentence is all it takes to change the way someone sees themselves. And now, nearly a decade later, I get to pay that forward — through my platform, my content, and the way I show up as an ambassador for this game.
That’s the full circle. Kristen’s kindness helped me believe I belonged at the tables. And every time I cross paths with her in the halls, I remember that amazing first WSOP experience back at the Rio like it was yesterday.
I’ve come a long way since my first WSOP tournament. This journey has been nothing short of magical. And Kristen? She’s still here. Still showing up with grace. Still being the kind of player I aspire to be. Making history & paving the way.
It’s a full circle moment. Because long after the cards are mucked and the chips are counted, we remember the ones who made us feel seen. And I can look back on that memory as an anchor and a measuring tool for myself. And I’m grateful for every single step along the way.
