Four tables remain in the Five Card Pot-Limit Omaha tournament and one is drawing a lot more attention than the others.

Joey Boczek is a polarizing figure at Playground Poker Club. He is a talkative player who is confident in his ability. He also has a cameo in a Playground Poker television ad. At the end of the commercial, he makes a bird sign with his hands and says, "caw, caw."

This has lead to some funny moments as he enters the tournament field and a handful of players "caw, caw" at him as he walks by. The "Birdman" has some fans.

Dan Vigderhous is not one of them. Over a few hands of play, the two were jabbing back and forth at each other. For the most part it was the kind of trash talking you might here on a basketball court, but it was a step above light-hearted. After Vigderhous made a few comments, the dealer informed the two players that the talking was ok, but that they needed to keep it "PG."

The floor person was near in case it got out of hand. That all happened before a hand that gave Birdman the chance to "caw" at Vigderhous as he headed to the rail.

The critical hand was raised preflop and four players saw the {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop before Bob T bet the pot, making it 32,000. Vigderhous was checking his cards and seemed to be debating his next move. Eventually he said he was all in, putting his 137,000 or so at risk.

William Blais went all in as well for less and Bob T called the rest of his stack.

The hands:
Bob T. - {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Dan Vigderhous - {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades}
William Blais - {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and the river was the {6-Diamonds}.

Vigderhous cheered, but the table quickly realized that Bob T. made a straight flush.

Vigderhous was left very short and busted shortly after. Which gave "Birdman" a last chance to needle him with a "caw, caw."
