Letting Off Steam

This year's WSOP saw a small rule change that permitted players to use profanity in moderation, provided it wasn't directed at another player, dealer, or member of the staff. Despite this relaxation in the rules, the floor persons have been enforcing the hostile profanity penalty very strictly.

"Floor, Green 13!" yelled a dealer near us. By the time the man in the suit arrived at the table, one of the players was already storming out of the room. The dealer proceeded to inform the floor person that the absent player had berated him, screaming, "What the f*ck are you doing?!"

The dealer said, "It didn't offend me, he is just steaming." He'll have a little time to cool down, as the floor staff gave instructions that the offender not be dealt in for one full round.
