Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Harsheel Kothari was in a heads-up pot against Bohdan Slyvinskyi on a board of 4?J?5?, but his attention was elsewhere.

With the hand underway, Kothari was in an argument with the player to his right, Thomas Zanot, who insisted Kothari leave him alone and called the floor over for the second time.

"I told you I want him to stop talking to me," Zanot told the floor, who asked Kothari to respect his request.

Zanot then began slagging off Kothari as he faced a bet of 50,000 in the pot that had a fraction of his attention, with Zanot yelling to another table that "I'm sure this is normal behavior for him. I'm sure he does this every tournament."

"You say I'm not allowed to talk to you and then you start talking sh**," Kothari said in frustration as he called.

Kothari faced a bet of 220,000 on the 9? turn and he folded as he continued to bicker about the situation.

"Table change!" laughed Ahmed Nimer.

"Yeah, table change," grumbled Kothari.
