Pacific Poker tourney flaw last night

I was pretty unhappy, and thankfully it wound up helping me pick up some chips. I was in a 15 dollar 10k guarenteed tourney last night (I normally play on PokerStars, but I somehow turned 3 dollars into 60 and had some money to play). So anyway, blinds are 500/1000 and I have like 7,000 at that point in the bb with 3-10 off suit. The seat to my right is vacated, and the next seat has the SB. During the hand it gets raised, and the seat next to me becomes filled. I fold obviously. The next hand, I'm forced to post the BB again! Thankfully it gets checked to me with Q-2 in the BB and I bet out and collect the pot. I pretty much picked up what I had lost in the blinds, but normally had I not won that hand I would have been pretty furious. I wound up finishing 8th on the night out of 700 players and pocketed 207 for my efforts.

Pacific Poker..... home of the worst players on earth, worst site out there in my opinion. If you can avoid the massive suckouts, good players should do well.

I just double checked my hand history and this was the second time it happened in that tournament. I had it happen again when the blinds were 250/500! And I had garbage in all 3 blind hands. I've contacted support and awaiting to here what they have to say.

wow, Pacific has been around a long time. They shouldn't have bugs like that.

you should really get the HH and send it to them. that is rediculous @ a huge site like that. Its home to the worst interface/graphics too imo.
