Day: 3

The flop came to further dampen Lee's spirits.
The turn however was a miracle to give him the Broadway straight.
The river gave us proof however, that the best hands can win. The gave Kim a full house and busted Lee from this event.
Most players want to disappear as quickly as possible once they bust, but now they must linger and watch their final opponent stack the chips which were formerly theirs.
Rep Porter and another player are all in preflop. Porter has and the opponent has 8-8. The board comes and Rep Porter busts the player, moving up to 820,000.
At which point the player facing elimination slammed his fist down on the table so hard that it made the chips on the table jump. And then, when the hit the river and he knew he'd been eliminated, he LIFTED THE ENTIRE TABLE UP OFF THE GROUND and sent the chips and cards scattering all over the place.
The players were able to protect their chips to keep them from spilling into a great messy pile, and the player who lost the hand was quickly removed from the table. The security cameras caught the whole episode, and from what we've heard he's going to be paid out, and then escorted from the building. We're not mentioning his name because we want to make 300 percent sure we have the right name (the players at his table weren't sure) and we don't want to libel the innocent.
