The board read with Mike Dentale all-in for 12,900 preflop with in front of him. Charlie Marchese had a bet a front of him a few seats over while holding for two pair.
But that wasn't what got the attention of the live reporting team; Dentale was in the middle of a foul-mouthed rant against the player on his direct left. The other player gave it back just as hard while there were several floors trying to sort the issue out which had arisen.
Apparently a player had raised, Dentale had shoved, and Marchese had called the raise, not noticing Dentale's shove. The initial raiser folded and the dealer ran the board.
The discussion was in regards to the fact that Marchese had other options according to several people even though Marchese had accepted to call the all-in anyways. Dentale wasn't too friendly to the dealer either as the floors ruled that Dentale's all-in was called by Marchese as he accepted the action.
Dentale made his way out of the tournament area in a not so quiet fashion to re-enter soon after.
The player in the under-the-gun position checked and Ralph Macri shoved from the middle position for 22,700. His opponent contemplated his options for a bit and then made the call with for top pair. Macri held for the flopped two pair.
The river completed the board with the to keep Macri ahead and double him up.
It was all over but the stacking on Table 1. Rafal Kordys (big blind) had won a three-way all-in holding against Seat 10 with and Seat 2, who had pocket Kings.
The final board read and Kordys had rivered a straight to scoop both main and side pots. Seat 10 was felted and Seat 2 was left short, busting out on the next hand.
By the time he finished stacking, it appeared Kordys was playing close to 400,000.
Last year, this event ended in a heads-up deal with Ralph Macri taking first place. The other half of that deal was Everton Taylor, who took second place and $49,026.
Although Macri busted out of this flight earlier tonight, Taylor is still in the hunt, although as they play the last three hands, he's only got ~50,000 chips (8 big blinds).
