Flury Gone in a Flurry of Shouting

Now that we're into the money, an excitable group of poker players is becoming even more excitable. How else can we explain the reaction of Patrick Sacrispeyre upon eliminating Andreas Flury? With 200,000 in the pot, Flury was all in for an additional 31,500 on a board of {8-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {3-Clubs}. Sacrispeyre, with several hundred-thousand behind, actually tanked long enough to draw some muttered comments from the rail. He did finally call, tabling an unimproved {A-Diamonds} {10-Spades} against Flury's pair of eights, {A-Hearts} {8-Spades}. The turn blanked {6-Hearts}, prompting Sacrispeyre to point at the river, as if asking for his ten-ball. He got it with the {10-Clubs} and immediately jumped out of his chair and started shouting (in French, so you 'll pardon us for not transcribing his remarks). A friend nearly knocked this reporter over in an effort to run in from the rail, shout with Sacrispeyre and clap him on the back.

A bemused Flury gave one brief sidelong glance at the spectacle, then very slowly stood out of his chair and put on his jacket. A member of the tournament staff escorted him to the payouts table.
