Controversy on Orange 83
"David, would you come with me?" the floor requested.
"I don't want to come with you," Singer replied.
"If you harass the dealers it will not be put up with. Come with me please."
"Can I play my hand?" Singer asked.
"No, you're getting a penalty."
Singer was irate. "I'm getting a penalty for her saying she misses me like a migraine?"
The floor then got on his radio and requested a second floor to come to the table. "Is it going to be the same issue?" the radio crackled.
"Continuation," replied the floor. Eventually Jack Effel showed up and pulled Singer aside for a five-minute conversation. We're not sure what the result of the conversation was, but Singer is back at the table now without further incident.
