Chad Batista in Event #29
Chad Batista in Event #29
Chad 'lilholdem' Batista raises to 275 under the gun and a middle-position player calls. A late-position player reraises to 3,000 all in and Batista calls. The MP folds.

Batista shows {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, but the opponent shows {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}. The board runs {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{10-Spades} and the opponent doubles up.

Batista shakes his head and mutters "fish." He doesn't stop there, though, as he begins berating his opponent for a play he made earlier, calling him a bad player, and so on, and so on. A third player jumps into the conversation and tells Batista not to be so harsh.

"I can do whatever the f*** I want," Batista shoots back.

The player who doubled up said, "OK, now you get to sit out."

The floor was called over and the table was told to cool it, but no penalty was given. Batista is continuing to make remarks, though. He's down to 19,000.
