Chip Dumping?

I played my 2nd Token Frenzy last night, and a very strange and questionable play occurred right on the bubble for the tokens. Frankly my knee jerk thought was 11duke11 was chip dumping. You be the judge:

Full Tilt Poker Game #4985187120: $75 Token Frenzy (37195940) Table 14 - 1200/2400 Ante 300 - No Limit Hold'em - 23:28:58 ET - 2008/01/24
Seat 1: 11duke11 (12 360)
Seat 3: Flush_Edges (2 160)
Seat 4: vegascat111 (5 630)
Seat 5: twoblackaces (7 400)
Seat 6: Garbolog (4 835)
Seat 7: LJ___RV (7 190)
Seat 8: bdidde (9 757)
Seat 9: bayne_s (2 356)
11duke11 antes 300
Flush_Edges antes 300
vegascat111 antes 300
twoblackaces antes 300
Garbolog antes 300
LJ___RV antes 300
bdidde antes 300
bayne_s antes 300
11duke11 posts the small blind of 1,200
Flush_Edges posts the big blind of 1,860, and is all in
The button is in seat #9

Holecards:
Dealt to twoblackaces [ ]
Flush_Edges: smells like me
vegascat111 has 15 seconds left to act
vegascat111 folds
twoblackaces folds
Garbolog folds
LJ___RV folds
bdidde folds
bayne_s folds
LJ___RV : aww
11duke11 has 15 seconds left to act
Flush_Edges : call
LJ___RV: are u serious...call'
11duke11 folds
Uncalled bet of 660 returned to Flush_Edges
Flush_Edges: f it
Flush_Edges mucks
Flush_Edges wins the pot (4,800)

This is a ridiculously easy call! I may send this to FT support for further investigation, what do you think?

Happens often. You see people get chummy at the table and try to save the short stack. Or he could have just stepped away since he was in no danger and got timed out.

Ha, didn't think about that. I suppose that's possible, although myself, I like to see these through. Good point K.

Hey,

I saw your post on another blog and figured I’d check yours out and give you a headsup about a WPT giveaway I’m running this year.

A lot of players want to participate in a 10K buyin event, but most lack the skills or experience, so if I gave that way it would be like giving away a lottery ticket. Unless they got very lucky they probably wouldn’t do much with it.

So I tried to come up with something that I felt would be a much better prize for the majority of poker players. I’m giving away a WPT Battle For The Season Pass III package this year on my site.

You can win a weeklong vacation in the Bahamas, training from the pros (over 20 in attendance last year) and entry into up to three tournaments while you’re down there. One of the tournaments is a 3-day deep-stacked event with a number of WPT, cash and boot camp prizes. The grand prize is a $100,000 WPT Season Pass plus $10K in cash for expenses.

You can use the WPT Season Pass to enter any World Poker Tour events you want (ten 10K events, a mix of 5K, 15K, etc)

The first free satellite is being held on Full Tilt Poker Sunday, February 10th, 2008 at 14:00 (2pm EST)

Right now there's only 34 players signed up, the top 4 advance to a single-table semi-final in February. The fields aren't going to get any smaller as word of this promotion spreads. So if you want in, you'll want to play some of the earlier events to have less competition.

Hope the tables & life are treating you well, and I hope you’ll take a shot at winning this prize!

There was a pocket 5s thread last week about just this same thing. Sometimes it's dumping but other times it is just general collusion, which is worst of all on the bubble in the token frenzies. Not sure why so many people do this but I often see explicit collusion discussions being had right in the chatbox about helping the short stack to get his token, etc.
