Feats of Strength

It's perhaps a bit surprising that this sort of thing doesn't happen more often, but still -- the player at Table 24, Seat 3 moved all in with {A-Spades}

and was called by Jimmy Blevins holding {K-Spades}

. The

flop gave both players a pair, but on the turn Blevins hit the {K-Hearts}

to make trips.

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 {10-Spades}

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.
