Tarek Bouchama had three-bet to 140,000 and had left 250,000 behind. His opponent had moved all in and just had him covered.
Bouchama was not happy. Not at all. He separated out his stack and fumed some more, uttering oaths out loud in French (naturally). The minutes ticked by and he was eventually put on the clock. Some more complaining and hitting the table took the clock to the final countdown and his hand was folded.
Tarek Bouchama opened for 50,000 and the player in the big blind was the same player who had four-bet all in against him a few hands ago. As he gave it some thought another stream of invective came from Bouchama mouth. Eventually he laid it down and Bouchama showed him the . In response he was shown the folded .

Tarek Bouchama was involved in a pot against Omar Lakhdari on a flop of and Lakhdari had bet 30,000.

Tarek Bouchama seems to be looking for an argument at the moment. He has Omar Lakhdari to his direct left and one seat along is big stack Stephan Ouzilou. The floor had just told him that he should take a reasonable time to make his decisions and he seemed to accept that but once he had gone he continued to loudly complain, as if the world was against him. Ouzilou didn’t look too impressed but Lakhdari seemed to find the whole charade hilarious.
