A Disturbing Breach of Etiquette

Every poker tournament presents countless opportunities for players to show their true colors, whether they are experiencing the ecstasy of victory or the agony of defeat, but a recent hand saw one player violate poker protocol in a number of troubling ways.
The commotion began when Rob Mason, a Pot-Limit Omaha host for the Players Casino in Ventura, California, took a flop of 
against a lone opponent. A series of bets and raises moved the player all in, and Mason snap-called in the dream situation, after his 
connected for quads.
When the opponent saw the bad news, he did the unthinkable, standing to throw his irrelevant 
at the dealer. The useless pocket pair fluttered in the air, before falling at the feet of another player.
"Card down!," announced the dealer, showing no emotion after the player's Gambit-style attack.
Still fuming after moving all in while drawing dead, the furious player then compounded his lapse in judgment, shoving his now decimated stack into the pot in more of a cannonball than a splash. He then stomped away from the table while the dealer, fellow players, and the floor staff worked to sort through the mess he had created.
When it was all said and done, the still miffed man was forced to return, as he had actually had Mason covered by a small amount.
"Everybody happy?," asked the dealer, once the pot was correctly divided and the chips directed to their rightful owners.
The irony of this question was not lost on the angry player, and he shook his head several times to show that he was anything but happy at the moment.
