Two Grown Men Throwing Cards, and a Third Playing Hooky

Level 7 : 300/600, 0 ante

There are 54 players remaining of the 93 entries over in the Borgata Poker Room in Level 7, and there are some interesting happenings taking place.

The chip leader is a gentleman with 145,000 chips, but he refuses to give our reporter his name because he is playing hooky from work. He has a monster stack, and we will see if Mr. Anonymous Deux can keep running hot.

Over on the table with the first Mr. Anonymous there was a bit of a tiff after an all in and a bust out. A short-stacked player bet the pot (6,100) on a flop of {q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, and Mr. Anonymous re-potted, moving all in. The player called.

All-in Player: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}
Mr. Anonymous: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

The turn and river came {2-Diamonds}, {10-Spades} respectively and the all-in player was eliminated. He didn't see one of the fives in Mr. Anonymous' hand, however, and told him to "Ship it."

"You ship it," Mr. Anonymous fired back, pointing to his set of fives.

"I wasn't trying to be a wise ass," the player retorted.

Mr. Anonymous muttered something about him actually being a wise ass, and the player not trying to be a wise ass took offense to the wise ass comment. Thus, he picked up a card and flung it across the table at him. Mr. Anonymous flung it back a bit harder, the eliminated player re-raised, chucking it even harder, and that's where the childish card fight came to an end.

There are other players with actual names still alive and kicking, including Allen Cunningham, Ravi Raghavan, and Ali Soleimanlou.
