For those who don't know, Michael "Squeaky" Winnett is an...interesting character. He is quite boisterous at the table - singing whatever is coming out of his white, Beats By Dre headphones - and is unafraid to speak his mind at all times. This isn't very conduscive at the poker table however, and he was just semi-threatened by Greg "FBT Mueller.
Mueller walked over from an adjacent table, (playfully) put his hands around Winnett's neck, and began choking him.
"Shut the f*** up buddy," he told Winnett with a grin. "You're killing us."

The turn brought another bet from Shorr and a raise from Grizzle. After some contemplation Shorr put out the white flag and folded.
