Did none of the managers notice that he was being flamed? Fossilman should have just laid one on him, 18 years of built up frustration unleahsed in one big swing. He even apologized, much bigger man than me.

I dont get it, they punished Greg for saying those words, but when the other player teased him WhyTheFuck he didnt called it a clock and let the EPT Crew take that stupid Ukrainian away for few rounds??? If player repeadetely annois you, then you can send him away from table atleast for 10 minutes, every live player knows it.

I think it should be allowed to beat your opponents and give them a bad beat when they deserve it: it is very important to stay in correct position when you do it not to be trapped
