I'm surprised stuff like that doesn't happen more often.

Notice the guy "trying to help" punches the table flipper.

That's one definition of "tilt," for sure

When I read that title I thought first this is a Trip report of @ribbybruno & friends 😅

The world series of poker Circuit (WSOPC) Main Event at Harrah's Cherokee erupted into chaos on Sunday as a man flipped over three poker tables in an apparent fit of rage. What do you think? Was a runner runner or a river suckout??? Would you do same ?

 

[dannystanks]

I’m guessing he is probably done playing in a wsop ever again and seriously needs help.

 

[shanest]

how did they sort out the stacks?
madness

The word is that he wasn't even in this tournament. At least not that current one. Witnesses and reports were saying that he just came into the room and flipped over 3 tables for no reason. Don't know if he was in a previous tournament and lost or what.

I used to feel like doing that one time. Now I just laugh.

certainly an angry attitude and unprepared to play poker, especially live.

JJ didn't hold back and the player got angry 😂😂

Hello Poker Fans,

If I have not done that yet, with the bad beats that have been dished out - especially online, I doubt I ever will!

This is the main reason that you never gamble what you cannot afford to lose. If you do, you should be angry with yourself, not the tables or the players. Poker is not for the faint of heart, neither is it for those with poor emotional intelligence - the game will test your resolve.

Poker is a beautiful game with highs and lows - ride it out and have fun!

Not everyone is into WCW.

Yah I thought that guy dropping the elbows was pathetic. The guy 'flipping out' clearly wasn't a physical threat to anyone which makes the guy dropping elbows look like an even bigger arse.
If I'm the TD I'm banning mr. Elbows too.

After the guy with AK says "And you said AK was just a drawing hand"

 

[Alex Houngan]

When you've played thousands of hands, bad beats become just part of the game. But honestly, I can’t say how I’d react if I lost $5,000+ on a brutal river suckout and missed the ITM. Emotions run high in poker, and everyone has their breaking point. It’s all about perspective and how much that loss truly means to you.

I want to see the video.

This really shouldn't be happening anymore! I think that such aggressive players should be banned from participating in major tournaments for 3-5 years, and in case of repeated cases for whole life. Poker is the pinnacle of culture! No matter what cooler happens at the poker table, the player must stay sensible.
