"One Round Whammy Penalty!"
Many of the players are paying much more attention to tonight NBA finals game rather than the actual poker being played. Cory Zeidman, while more famously known for getting a straight flush against Jennifer Harman or for winning a bracelet in last year's Event 4: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better, is one of those emotionally invested in tonight's basketball game.
We came over to Zeidman and Chad Brown's table to the sound of Zeidman yelling to the floor.
"I want this guy to get a one round whammy penalty," Zeidman explained to the dealer and the table. "He put a whammy on the heat. Will the floor get mad if I call him over here?" Zeidman asked the dealer.
"Probably not," the dealer explained.
Eventually the floor came over and Zeidman explained, jokingly, that he wanted the man to his right to get a "one round whammy penalty," for putting bad juju on his team. The floor just brushed it off and told the man to the Zeidman's right something to the effect of good job.
"Obviously he's just another hater," Zeidman said. "Of course he's gonna give you the 'atta boy and a pat on the back."
While all the shenanigans were taking place, Zeidman completed a bet with the 
showing and was able to take down a pot on third street.
"I don't even have money on tonight's game," Zeidman explained. "I'm just rooting as a ran. Remember when you were a kid and you used to root as a fan?"
