Rocco Can Wait All F***in' Day
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Michael Rocco and Brandon Cantu were heads up on a board of 
. There was around 30,000 in the middle, and both players checked.
"King-high," Cantu announced, as he was first to table his cards.
Rocco didn't budge.
"King-high," Cantu echoed.
"Table your hand," Rocco told him.
This angered Cantu, who held his cards up but wouldn't table them.
"Come on," Daniel Negreanu piped up. "It's the rules, Brandon."
"I'll wait all f***in' day," Rocco told Cantu, who finally showed 
for king-high.
Rocco showed 
for a pair of aces, and scooped the pot.
Negreanu tried to tell Cantu that some of the online players don't follow the etiquette of showdowns, but Cantu was sure that Rocco had some sort of vendetta.
"He wants to embarrass me," Cantu said. "He's stomping all over my mound."
The latter was a baseball reference we believe, and at this point a floorperson had arrived.
"Let's not insult one another," he told the table, trying to calm everyone down.
Erick Lindgren looked at him deadpan. "F*** Daniel Negreanu."
Most of the table laughed, while Rocco and Cantu still seemed to be steaming a bit from their little confrontation. We'll see if the two butt heads again as we near the bubble and heads-up play.

Timoshenko Busts Charette
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
We missed all the action but saw Simon Charette get up from the table after apparently busting out against Yevgeniy Timoshenko. He still had his 
in front of him while Timoshenko had 
opened up. The board had an ace on it so that meant Charette had to exit the tournament a couple of places before we would hit the money.
"Why did I have this situation come up four of the money?" he asked rhetorically. No one answered wisely, as Charette left the tournament area.
Just bubbled 3 off the money losing tens to yevs ace king for an 170k pot at 600-1200 in 3k mix. So sad :(Follow @SimonCharette
