Normally one to make players and staff bust out in laughter, comedian Mike King has unfortunately made a dealer shed tears that weren't a result from a joke.
With his iPhone sitting on the table, the dealer called a Tournament Director over to explain that King wasn't allowed to have it on the table.
With the Tournament Director being informed that it was for music purposes only, the dealer continued that King swore at her and used a few expletives.
The Tournament Director resolved the situation and swapped the dealer out, and as the tournament on table 9 continued, the dealer in question was last seen making her way from the tournament being consoled as she wiped tears away from her eyes.
