I was playing at the Ballys Circuit event in 2006, I was playing satellites while the 1k or 1.5k Limit event was going on. and for the puposes of cleanliness well use the Battlestar Galactica word frak where apporpriate...
Old dude in the 1 seat and starts getting lip from a 20 something during a coulpe of hands. This persists for a while then all of a sudden you hear the old dude yell "NOBODY TELLS ME TO GO FRAK MYSELF, YOU FRAKING PUNK" then leaps on his chair with cat like speed (well for an older dude...) and dives across the table. Jimmy Sommerfield who is all of 5' 7 and maybe 160 dripping wet, tries to keep the 2 apart, only to have the old dude shove him on his butt, 2 other floor guys and a couple of security gaurds grabbed the old dude and drag him out, and as he's being shown the door, he's screaming "I DID 15 FRAKING YEARS IN PRISON, AND I'LL DO ANOTHER 15 NOBODY TALKS TO ME LIKE THAT, NOBODY"
After figuring out everybodys stack the old dudes chips were picked up, and play continued. We later found out the old dude was with the mob during "The Good Old Days" of Vegas
Trust me the floor guys saved that kids life....
Morale of the story:
If you're going to be an idiot keep the foolish comments for your chat box on the internet.

While visiting Scottsdale, I wandered over to the Indian casino and jumped into a 2/5 game. I sat in seat 7 at a full table. Next to me in seat 8 was a retired hockey player, no one famous or even well known. He was a big guy and apparently a regular. He had been drinking and developed a terrible negative attitude, berating the players and the dealers at every opportunity. This goes on for some time and everyone is just putting up with him. Despite his drinking however he remained rock tight.
Across the table in seat 3, sat a very young wispy haired kid whose shoulders barely spanned a foot. The kid looked 13 but was a good player.
The kid and the hockey player end up HU in a big pot. The river was dealt. Kid moved all in. Hockey player went in the tank. After a minute he folds. Kid slaps down rags face up.
Hockey player blows up. Berates the kid for showing the bluff and starts calling the kid names. The kid pulls the pot and starts stacking. The last name the hockey player yelled was "f***ing derelict!"
There was a brief pause. Then the wispy haired kid pushed two of his $100 stacks back toward the center of the table and said to the hockey player, "This $200 is yours if you can spell 'derelict'." The hockey player froze. I could barely contain myself. I had to turn away. Remember, the hockey player was sitting right next to me.
The stacks went back to the kid. The hockey player never said another word to anyone.
Later in the session, I noticed the hockey player with a pen and paper on his lap under the table. He was trying to spell out derelict.

I was in a lousy $50 tourney at the bike and some douchebag asks to see my hand after i muck. That is one of my biggest pet pieves is when a player asks to c another players hand. Anyway after the first break there was a situation where he used the F word, not towards anybody it just slipped out. The dealer gave him a warning, but I wanted to be a prick and asked for the floor man. He was givin a penalty for 1 orbit, I didnt know his buddy was there with him, now hes talkin S**T in my direction and he uses the F word. Now he gets a penalty. To make things worse a third guy is there with them, and dis Dk face is talkin crap about my mohawk ( i dont have it anymore). The original guy I had beef with tells me your not gonna do anything and Im like watever. Him and his buddies are talking trash, trying to intimidate me and Im thinking F**K imma get my A$$ kicked in the parking lot.
I lean over to the guy and say Im going all in blind every hand just so I can get knocked out and F**K you up in the parking lot. He was quiet the rest of the tourny. his buddies changed tone and were talking about basketball. The whole table was now scared. I pretty much alienated the whole table. BIGGEST BLUFF I EVER PULLED OFF!

A guy had a seizure at the table at the Golden Nuggett, leaned back in chair with head thrown back and eyes rolled back grimacing and everything. It looked horrible but nobody did anything or even acted like they noticed. Out-of-towner me finally spoke up and said get a doctor in here then everyone said he's a regular and it happens to him all the time, and he'll be fine in five minutes. Sure enough he was.
