Feud Between Clinkscales and Moshe Fires Up the Room

Adam Lamers

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

A lot of commotion occurred at Table 99 and the brunt of it was between Rex Clinkscales and Asi Moshe. Moshe and Rafi Elharar recently played a pot with each other and Clinkscales suggested that Moshe and Elharar were colluding. He asked the floorman to keep an eye on the table, and Moshe didn't take the accusation lightly.

The two started to get into an argument with curse words just rolling off their tongues. Clinkscales took it as far as threatening Moshe and wanting to fight outside. The floorman separated both players and pulled them away from the table. The banter continued off the table and the tournament director was eventually called over to defuse the situation.

Once cooler heads prevailed, Moshe was allowed to return to his seat while Clinkscales was given a round penalty. Since then, the table has been broken and everyone was moved to separate tables to avoid any further altercation.
