Dentale Detonates
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
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.
