So Scotty's gonna need to at least come in second to keep playing poker?

no better than his son in the ethics department?

With the board reading {7-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {7-Clubs}, a player raised all in over the top of Phil Tom's river bet. Tom made the call and his opponent showed {8-Hearts} {7-Hearts}.

Tom studied the board for a couple of seconds before saying, "Nice hand," then flipping {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} for the bigger house.

"Wow, sick slowroll" commented another player at the table while Tom raked in a huge 80,000 pot.

ouch! man slow rolling is unethical but part of the game : (

lol durrrraments

Gets a guy at his table blasted on Patron on a $5,000 prop bet. Drunk guy becomes a belligerent and leaves the Rio for the night.

I hope ESPN is taking note.

LOL, that guy was no other than ADZ124!

From the wsop-site:


1.
It took 11 minutes and 41 seconds for Matthew Marafioti to finish all ten shots, but the real question is whether or not he can keep them down. With just under an hour remaining in the day, you would expect Marafioti to quiet down and try and keep fairly reserved so as to win the bet. However Marafioti has sparked up even more, chatting more and more to the table and especially Tom Dwan . . . even calling him a fish at one point. "Fish, fish, fish, nit, fish, fish" he stated as he pointed from seat one (Dwan) around the table back to him. Marafioti is handling himself in the poker department fairly well at the moment with 61,500 in chips in comparison to Dwan's 21,600 - hopefully he can hold onto them . . . and the Patron as we wind up play for the night.

2.
Matthew Marafioti didn't need to last the remainder of the level, but only 15 minutes after taking the last shot. With Tom Dwan just confirming that he succeeded in completing the prop bet, and now $5,000 richer, Marafioti, Dwan and the rest of the table were presented with some bad news. They're table is about to be broken, and consequently Marafioti will have to depart the table of fun and drinking to relocate somewhere in the Miranda Room. Hopefully now Dwan won't have to pay up the Tournament Director charity freeroll that he gave, as most know that motion and lots of alcohol don't fair too well!

3.
We are (kind of) unsure why Matthew Marafioti has been escorted out of the Miranda Room and down the halls of the Rio. It is understandable that Marafioti has been a little loud and rowdy of late, but there was no reason why he was removed from the tournament. Yes he was slurring his speech (a lot) and being (very) rowdy, but let the kid play some cards! We'll find out what really happened when we get a chance.

I believe Phil Tom is also related to Scott Tom, the guy behind the Absolute poker scandal and playing as POTRIPPER...

The story is that Matthew Marafioti was awarded a penalty for using the F-Bomb and after coming to the conclusion that he was not in the best state he decided to go home. Tom Dwan gave the Tournament Director a couple of $100 bills to make sure that Marafioti was 'delivered' home safely after being on the intoxicated side. Dwan may be feeling bad, but Marafioti will be returning on Wednesday with over 56,000 in chips.
