Controversy on Red 368
Blake Slade is not endearing himself to many of the players in this field, the tournament staff, or the media. He caused a huge commotion at a recent hand after a player accidentally posted the big blind from under the gun (due to a dead small blind). By the time he realized his mistake there was action behind him. He was forced to make a blind under-the-gun call, which Slade raised. The player then re-raised, drawing indignant, theatrical outrage from Slade, who eventually folded -- but not before sputtering in rage to anyone who would listen.
The problem boiled over a few minutes later, with Slade and Milad Jorshari eventually each given a five-hand penalty.
