Player goes nuts at WPT Bucharest
I just received this email from a friend of mine


A player went mental in the tournament room. He threw his chips to the ceiling and tried to punch the tournament director and another player and then stormed out. The reason: one player was hogging the only masseuse girl and he got angry and violent! Welcome to Romania!


One member of the media has it on video but he left straight away – he is selling it to a national network and is likely to be on the mainstream news tonight and is already major news in Romania. The video footage is valuable. The mad guy has form – he’s a celebrity and a Romanian football agent – he spat in the face of a sports presenter on tv. Giovani Becali

I will have the footage from the tournament soon. My major concern was that when he threw the chips it would unbalance those in play but this is not the case – all the players are happy that there are no extra chips on the tables.

Indeed, it is a very different world out here…

I was supposed to be the TD for this but maybe now glad I wasn't

And prove that violence is the answer

I just don't see this as a big deal. We just had 2 armed robbery at live mtt in Europe! This is a big deal, not a "gambler" - ex sport agent being rude at a WPT.

I guess in the "US of A" casinos are full only with nice and friendly players like Negreanu.
