Bleznick and Nguyen Not the Best of Friends

Jareth Bleznick does not seem full of the sportsmanlike spirit that one hopes might pervade this sort of affair. In fact, he seems to be developing some sort of personal issue with Men Nguyen, seated to his left in seat one, Bleznick in seat nine.

Bleznick raised to 2,300 and Nguyen called him to see a {Q-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {5-Spades} flop, which they both checked. They both checked the {10-Hearts} turn as well, and come the {3-Clubs} river, Bleznick bet out a minimum 800. Nguyen chuckled as he called. "How big's your pair?" he asked, the most likely unintended double meaning of which was not lost on your blogger, at least. Nguyen flipped pocket eights, and Bleznick mucked.

A few hands later and Nguyen raised to 2,200 under the gun. It folded around to Bleznick in the big blind, who re-popped to 7,000 total, leaving himself 9,500 behind. There was a pause. Perhaps Bleznick didn't like something in Nguyen's face (your bloggers were stood on the wrong side of the table to see), but either way Bleznick suddenly got very angry and snapped, "Stop looking at my chips!" and banged his remaining stack down next to his reraise for some reason. Nguyen folded. Very odd. Good thing there's a dealer between the two of them to stop things getting out of hand.
