I am Shannons roomate with the story about Doug. Its not an amazing story or anything but...
This all happened in April of 07. Basically I was in a 500 SNG with Doug and we ended up playing heads up for the 5K seat. While we were heads up I was about to bluff a river and was reaching for a stack when Doug shoves all in out of turn. I hadn't cut the chips yet and since I didn't have anything I min-bet and folded. He went on to win the seat and I didn't think much of it.
The next day my other roomate Mike Katz was playing in a tournament with Doug and he admitted that he purposely shoved out of turn the day before (blatantly angleshooting) and then went on to pull a similar move against Katz.
Katz isn't the type to take this laying down so he stands up and causes a huge scene in the middle of the Fontana Lounge at Bellagio. He starts screaming that he is gonna kick the **** out of Doug and dares him to step outside. Eventually he was being so ridiculous that they slapped a 20 minute penalty on him and he had to leave the tournament area.
I was back home at the time and I get a phone call from him. I had a piece of him and I knew when break was, so when I saw the caller ID I assumed he busted. The call went something like this:
Jerry(ME): ****. How did you bust?
Katz: Bust? I didn't bust, I got a penalty.
Jerry:...
Katz: Yea I jumped out of my chair and threatened to beat the **** out of Doug Lee in front of everyone in the Fontana Lounge.
Jerry: So your still in?
Katz: Yea, I just have to sit out for 20 minutes.
Jerry: atta boy
I wrote a blog entry about it last year:
