Oppenheim Causing Some Controversy

Our attention was grabbed by the table of Nick Schulman after he'd called the floor to the table to call the clock on David Oppenheim. Not an usual occurrence for a poker tournament...perhaps a little strange for a limit event...but what about preflop?

Well that's the situation that we found, after a raise, a reraise and a call before the action reached Oppenheim in the small blind who was clearly distressed by the action, before the community cards had even been dealt.

Before Oppenheim's one minute had expired he tossed out the call. He tried his best to win the pot with a check-raise on the flop before being raised by Todd Brunson on the turn, but Oppenheim gave up on the river with the board reading {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

"I was going to slowroll him too..." laughed Brunson as he raked in the pot.

Another interesting side note from this table is that currently there are four separate players all getting massages! That has to be some sort of record?
