Shaw Eliminates a Player in Feisty Pot

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Less than two levels into the day, hearing a floor shout for security is always a peculiar incident.

According to Carl Shaw, he'd just eliminated an opponent in a three-bet pot with {q-}{q-} against {a-}{9-}. They got it in on a nine-high board and queens held to eliminate his opponent.

His opponent allegedly then stood up and threatened to hit Shaw, after which a slanging match broke out and eventually the player was escorted from the room.

Shaw is up to double starting stack.
