Mr. Hipster, Mr. Personality, Call Him What You Will, He's Gone

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

We caught up with the action due to the cries and loud tirades coming from table #372. On a board of {8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, Michael Winnett was going off on yet another loud rant.

"I literally have pocket kings right now. Its rigged. It's SO rigged" exclaimed Winnett. "How can I literally lose everything? I don't get it!"

It was at this point that Winnett literally slammed his chips into the middle, making the call of Brian Pimlott's river bet. Pimlott tabled {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} and Winnett threw his cards furiously into the muck.

"Couldn't have given him the jack?! It's just so ridiculous. It's rigged" Winnett said one more time.

This hand crippled Winnett and left him with around 20,000 in chips. A few hands later, his fate was sealed when Arash Yazdanpanah made a raise preflop. Winnett three-bet, leaving himself with only 4,000 behind. Yazdanpanah made the call and Winnett shoved the rest of his chips in blind.

Winnett: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Yazdanpanah: {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

The flop made Winnett crazy as it came down {6-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. The turn and river were of no help as they fell {6-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Winnett was officially sent to the rail.

"Another three outer! It's absolutely ridiculous!" yelled Winnett as he followed the floorman out of the tournament area. Smiles were on the faces of every other player at table #372 as now the table may finally have some peace and quiet to concentrate as we wind down closer and closer to the final table.
