Commotion After Commotion
It all started very calmly when Andrej Desset raised to 10,000 from the cutoff. Jens Lakemeier, who fired his first bullet at the last possible moment, sat in the big blind and made a three-bet to 50,000.
Some speech play then occurred, after which Lakemeier stated to Desset: "You already told me you are weak, you are just wasting time by not folding".
Some more words were exchanged between the two until eventually the clock was called. The floorman came over and gave Desset a countdown. Desset folded, but showed a player his cards so he was forced to table his A♠J♦.
Another player then claimed that he saw Lakemeier's cards when he picked them up, and the floorman also forced Lakemeier to show his hand according to the "show one, show all" rule.
Lakemeier was not happy with this decision, saying "I'm not showing this f***ing hand, you (to Desset) are forcing me to do this by acting like a f***ing idiot, so I'm not showing".
After some stern words by the floorman, the cussing subsided. The player who saw Lakemeier's cards eventually claimed it was ace-queen he saw. The floorman took a peek at the cards to confirm, and indeed tabled AxQx shortly thereafter.
Despite the shouting, no penalties were given out and play resumed as normal the next hand, although with some of Desset's chips in Lakemeier's stack.
