Bouchama Gets Mad

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Tarek Bouchama opened the action for 60,000 and Omar Lakhdari moved all in for around 550,000. It folded round to Bouchama who started asking Lakhdari a few questions and it looked like the floor had enough of the time it was taking for him to make decisions. Instead of hurrying him up though this turned into a long discussion that seemed to be about the fact he was entitled to use some speech play and that was part of poker.

The argument raged for another few minutes and involved the tournament director who tried to calm things down. Bouchama folded his cards in the middle of this but wouldn’t let it rest, continuing to protest. Whether this is all an act or a genuine grievance is difficult to tell but it is certainly having an effect on his table and the tournament staff.
