Before the start of play, Daniel Negreanu and Jack McClelland stood up on the stage next to the featured table to make an announcement.
McClelland talked about Negreanu's blog, stating that Negreanu's complaints about the show one card, show both rule may be valid, and that he would like to put it to a vote.
So he asked the room if they would be opposed to a rule change. The response was overwhelming to say the least. Nearly every person in the room voted to change the rule.
McClelland responded with, "In the words of Steve Lipscomb, "Ahh.... F#%K it,"" and just like that the rule was changed.
Players are still not allowed to flash a card in the middle of the hand, however. The rule only allows you to flash a card after the hand is over.
After McClelland gave himself a 20-minute penalty, he did warn the players that he has been training the dealers for three years to turn both cards over, and that they should be patient with them as they learn the new rule all over again.
