"This Is Absurd!"

There is a player on Blue #4 who has been causing quite a scene through the first two levels of the tournament. He has already received two penalties, one for stalling and one for swearing. He is drinking Guinness and doesn't seem to have a strong grasp on his surroundings or the nuances of 2-7 Triple Draw.

Recently, he tangled with late arrival Tony "G" Guoga. The pot was raised before the draw. He drew two on the first draw, while Tony G stood pat. He checked, then called after Tony G bet.

Both players stood pat after the second draw. Again Tony G bet when the action was checked to him. This time, his opponent tried to move all in. Obviously, this is a limit game, and bet sizes are fixed. The player was not allowed to put all of his chips in the middle.

"This is absurd," he said, drawing laughs from the rest of the table.

Both players stood pat again on the third draw. At this point, Tony G's opponent showed a neighbor his hand, then checked and called when Tony G bet. Tony G showed the second nuts, 7-6-4-3-2. His opponent turned over Q-Q-T-T-9 for two pair.

After the hand was completed, Tony G's opponent was given a two-round penalty for exposing his cards to another player while the hand was still in progress.
