god I hate stupid people. I'm glad the guy got caught. This is why I always know what my stack is to the penny when I leave the table.

i do this as well...i generallly stay till the chips are colored up as well.

CntryBoys · May 31, 2010

wow i didnt realize they could ban someone for life from the wsop. I thought they could only remove you from the tourny he was in

CheeseConey · May 31, 2010

You just can't fix stupid! I hope he get's charged too, not just banned.

What good is that? How are you gonna prove it when you get back and half your stack is gone? Is there usually a system in place whereby you have the dealer confirm it before you step out?

The only way u can prove it is by askin the casino to go over the CCTV.

Neoblast · May 31, 2010

LOL, man what a fool.
Dealers should keep an eye on that kind of behaviour. well he got banned from wsop, he deserves it.

dwolfg · May 31, 2010

Good. I hope he never has a tourney cash or winning session of poker ever again.

-Phil Ivey27 · May 31, 2010

Hahaha, he was gonna be in that last hand no matter if there were 3 raises and he had 7 2.

norriscjn · May 31, 2010

Yeah that is gutsy. I am willing to bet he has done that before. Im sure he didnt have much time to sit there and think about what he was gonna do and how he was gonna do it. He seen the opportunity and it worked before so why not now.

psy0nyd3 · May 31, 2010

Haha what a greedy douche.... Like a few extra chips would actually make THAT much difference in the outcome of his tournament.. Good thing he got caught. This makes me wonder how many players have gotten away with this type of behavior in the past; Or if this particular baseball cap has gotten away with similar actions... People these days...

zebadie · May 31, 2010

im glad he got banned, an example should be made him!

jh1spartanfan · May 31, 2010

Why, would he think that he could get away with stealing someone else's chips? Seriously, your at a casino in a tournament that costs $1,000 to buy in to, and you don't think that someone or a camera is watching you. Also, is it really worth the risk, you paid $1,000 to buy-in to this tournament and you think that you should risk that and try to steal chips.

stevencool1 · May 31, 2010

went to the RIO today. seems he is an artful dodger. tried to do this before. now his name is on a black list around the world.

mig2169 · May 31, 2010

Wow, can't even believe what i saw. i have and do play all the time at commerce in La. I get up to stretch my legs all the time, most of the time i know what i have but not to the exact dollar????????????????????????

Misofer · Jun 1, 2010

That's pretty stupid, but I thought there was always someone watching over the tables, either a dealer or someone else. I guess not. He had what he deserved.

Spookey · Jun 1, 2010

I wold of chopped his hands off !
He got exactly what he was supposed to get ...

People like that must get a serious a$$ kicking before being escorted out !

Pokerstudent · Jun 2, 2010

Poker is a game of thinking ahead. Making plays with an idea of what to do on the turn if he calls/raises/etc.

This was one play where he did not think ahead. Moron.

smurray139 · Jun 2, 2010

How stupid can you get? The place is covered with CCTV.

sendittoken · Jun 2, 2010

banned

You should always count your chips before a break or color up in a tournament so that when you return you will know if some chips are missing.

sendittoken · Jun 2, 2010

honesty

Most poker players are honest when it comes down to doing things in a cash game or tournament. Their integrity is only in question when playing a hand: are they bluffing or spinning a tale as what they have. It is like camping. When you camp you leave all your gear at the camp site and hike, swim, or whatever, and trust everything to be there when you return. The same is true at a poker break, especially with the cameras and dealer still present. Makes no sense to steal a few chips and risk your buy-in. Maybe, even jail time!!

Neoblast · Jun 6, 2010

Well I guess he will never ever do that again, that greedy bastard...
Serves him right

Have you ever seen anything like that on live poker near you?

Thanks! Well, that might explain why the good folks at FT snubbed him once again from the Fantasy picks. Thang Luu was alltime O8 winner until Clements surpassed him this year.

If ur even more curious about this altercation with the dealer in '09....

Thang Luu was in a hand with another player, and I guess the dealer thought that Luu mucked his hand, and the dealer went to grab Luu's cards.

BAMMM! Thang smashed his fist onto the dealers hand and said something like "dont touch my cards" or something, well, the dealers hand broke or fractured and seriously wounded him/her.

Pretty evil person, even if the dealer did that to me, id be in shock and probably be a little sad/angry i didnt control my cards better but I wouldnt hit/swear at them. Actually truthfully id probably say HOLY FU*K or something but it wouldnt be directed at a dealer who i dont even know, i just dont roll like that.

But when O8 is your primary game you kinda have to be a little bat shit crazy.

Monoxide · Jun 6, 2010

rofl... yes.. you have to be a very sick individual

paumarhas · Jun 6, 2010

Just because they caught this one does not mean someone else has done it and gotten away with it.
