Stalling Becomes an Issue as Money Bubble Nears
The floor was called to Table 296 after Adam Friedman and a few other players at the table accused an unknown player, who is currently riding a very short stack, of stalling every time the action was on him.
Friedman told the floorman that this player was taking an inordinate amount of time to make every decision on every street of every hand. For his part, the player, who requested anonymity "until he makes the money" told PokerNews that he was "only taking 20 seconds to make a decision," and that taking time to think was his right as a player.
During the recent break both Friedman, who tells us his mother is a dedicated reader of PokerNews live updates, and the unnamed player talked things over and any hostility that may have existed has been quashed for the time being. With only 12 eliminations left until players cash in this event, we will be sure to monitor the situation to see if stalling becomes an issue again.
