At this point, the players brought this fact to our attention and we took the action we should take,” DC explained. As Caiaffa sat down, he added the other extra chips he had received. Then, in a table change and having lost part of the starting stack, the player would have added the 100,000 chips they had saved to their stackĭevanir Campos, CEO of the BSOP, spoke about the situation: “He got involved in a hand, lost a number of chips and was changed tables. Upon realizing the situation, Caiaffa would have kept 100,000 in chips, corresponding to an initial pile, in his backpack, as seen on camera.
Mistakenly on a floor, the miner received an initial pile along with his seat and, upon arriving at the table, received another initial pile from the dealer's hands. The tournament was seating substitute players, and a new table was opened, where the initial stacks were already in the dealer's possession. The incident occurred shortly after the start of Day 2 of the LAPT Mystery KO, the organizer declared herself transparent about the case. Rafael Caiaffa was permanently suspended from the BSOP tournaments this Monday afternoon (20) because he ended up violating an event rule.
