The excessive celebration rule that was enacted before the 2008 World Series of Poker seems to have done the trick. There have been very few explosive displays of temper and emotion during the events so far, but Chris Grigorian just got a finger-wagging from the floor after he doubled up. He had {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} to his opponent's {A-?} {K-?} and the {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {4-Spades} flop gave Grigorian a set to stay ahead of his opponent's pair of kings.

The board bricked out and Grigorian yelled "Ship it for me!", which led to the floor coming over and warning him to control the volume. Grigorian is now up to 6,100.
