Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Mike Sandler nearly won a poker tournament this week, recording a runner-up finish in Event 10 for a $18,630 score.

After he won a recent hand though, Sandler was treated like a tourist who doesn't know his flops from his folds.

The final board showed and Sandler had tabled, with his rivered nut flush best over an opponent's .

"Nice f---ing call there bro!," the young man bellowed, becoming increasingly belligerent as he criticized Sandler's play. "Bad call preflop, worse call on the flop."

Despite entering the pot with a nine-high three-gapper, the man was convinced that Sandler had misplayed the hand. Sandler remained calm and cool throughout the exchange (he was busy stacking up the man's chips after all), politely reminding the fuming player that it was actually him who sucked out, and not vice versa.

"I'm foldin' ova here for four orbits!," the man spat back, still spewing invective in Sandler's direction over a potential $230 hit to his bankroll. "Whattdaya put me on there?"

Tilt is the word you're looking for sir. He put you on tilt.
