A Double-Up Nearly Turns Violent
First in from the button, Robert Scott opened to 29,000, and Michael Rocco three-bet shoved from the big blind. Scott took just a second or three to think it over before committing himself to the call for his last 293,000 total.
Showdown
Scott:
Rocco:
The board ran out , and Scott's overpair held to earn him the double. But the drama wasn't over yet.
In celebration, Scott shot out of his chair and started walking to the rail where his friends are sweating the action. As he came around the table, though, Rocco stood up in front of him and walked directly at Scott's chest. He was trying -- for some reason -- to give Scott a chest bump, but the intentions were misinterpreted. As Rocco continued to draw closer to Scott, Scott put his fists up and took a fighting pose.
"Don't make me f*** you up!" he yelled as Rocco was right in the middle of an awkward chest-first hop. When he hit the ground, Rocco immediately drew back, and the situation quickly calmed down as the floor stepped in. Rocco explained himself, and the two men apologized and shook hands several times. Scott apologized to the table for his choice of words as well, and it was on to the next hand.
Scott begins that next hand with twice as many chips as the last one. He's got 604,000 now, dropping Rocco down to 480,000.
