Not a Happy Chappy

In a scene that reminded me of that Hitler movie clip that seems to do the rounds on various forums, German Vincent Wagner was almost foaming at the mouth when the dealer accidentally mucked his cards whilst he was in the big blind. In a fit of rage, he leapt from his chair like an epileptic salmon and started shouting what I expect were expletives in his native language. "Sir, if you're going to talk to me, you must speak in English," warned the tournament director sternly.

Wagner turned to John Juanda, who is also at the table, looking for support, but Juanda just shrugged his shoulders and said he was happy to leave the decision with the floor men. Inevitably, there was little that could be done, and play quickly resumed, but the player wasn't happy and continued to show his dissatisfaction, this time in the language of the host nation: "I am a very, very careful player," he pleaded. "This has never, never happened to me!"
