Tense Moments

It appears tensions are a bit high here, even in the first level.

In a four-way pot at one table just before Level 1 came to a close, the floor had to be called to calm down two players embroiled in an argument. One was so tense he was getting a massage at the table. But the real tension was all about him leaning in so far, the player to his left couldn't see the chip stacks of those he was involved in the pot with.

Asking the player to move back a little was met with much resistance until a floor person was brought in to settle things.

"We need to work together here," he said. "Can't we all just get along."
