Level 9 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Freddy Deeb sat in seat six and faced a bet from the player in the four seat. Deeb tried to eye up his opponent, but Max Kruse sat in between the two and Deeb couldn't see.

According to Deeb, he asked "would you mind moving"?

Noah Schwartz told him he was out of line for asking.

Deeb and Schwartz argued about whether it was appropriate to ask before Deeb finally asked for Jason Koon's opinion at a nearby table.

"I think it's fine to ask, you can't make him, but I think it's fine to ask," said Koon.

"Thank you, thank you," Deeb appreciated the support.

"That's not how you asked it," said Schwartz.

"I had no idea you were such a [expletive] moron," said Deeb.

"You're a genius. Real MENSA," said Schwartz.

"You should make a $10,000,000 IQ bet," said Dan Smith.

According to Deeb, "the funny thing about the whole argument is [Kruse] never said one word." He moved when Deeb asked him and never complained.

Schwartz and Smith both busted shortly after the back-and-forth.
