"You bink a fXXing seven on me and you want to see my hand?" Said Radoja with an ever increasing level of noise.
"Calm down," said Lisandro.
"It's unethical," repeated Radoja.
"It's no big deal. It happens to me all of the time," said Lisandro.
"Not from professionals…I would never do that…you should know better Jeffrey," said Radoja.
"Just don't blow off your chips now," said Lisandro.
"I won't be blowing off my chips," said Radoja.
"What did he have?" rained the shouts from the other tables.

Terrence Chan is tied for the lead with seven cashes at this year's World Series of Poker. Not bad for a guy who was taking hits to the face just weeks before the series started.
In March, Chan won his MMA debut against Alex Lee at the Legend Fighting Championships 8 in Hong Kong. Despite being a huge underdog, won by armbar submission in the second round.
Chan has been discussing his "other" hobby with his tablemates in this event. Chan noted that he's "never been knocked out" in a fight before.
With all of the success he's had in limit hold'em in his career, we're not sure he's ever been knocked out of a limit tournament, either.
