The Player and His Chips

Hi,

I’m just new to poker and I’ve come to know the game through the WSOP. I was able to watch a few episodes of it actually.

Well, it appeared to me that when the player with a greater amount of chips calls a player with a not so plenty chips all in, such player should call and place in all his chips he has. I then thought, is this always the case or maybe I just missed seeing players fold? What’s your thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Pace,

You are not seeing other players fold. Broadcasts such as the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour edit out a lot of playing and a lot of hands. They show only the most interesting or most entertaining hands. Most final tables that you see that are broadcast in an hour take a minimum of 7 hours to play. The 2006 Main Event final table took over 20 hours to play, and they broadcast it over 2 hours only.
