This happened during the first day of the 2007 Main Event at Dallas Pokerer Chris Como's table (he was sitting close to me). I don't recall the specific action, but there was a very big pot, and one person who already acted and put a bunch of his chips in the pot (calling the initial better on the river, I believe) answered his cellphone while the third guy was contemplating a call. His hand was declared dead. Turns out, he would have won the pot. Don't what would be the difference between calling and texting. Didn't this come up last year during the ME involving David Singer? He went all-in, and I guy looked at his phone and pressed something before calling? Singer went ape-shit. It’s got to be a dead hand.

"I want a life line. I'm going to text my poker coach. He knows this guy's bluff/solid hand record." Sounds like on the TV game show. “I want a life line. I’m going to text my poker coach. He knows this guy’s bluff/solid hand record.”
