The short version is that Friedman accused Lisandro of cheating by not paying his 5,000T ante with absolutely no evidence. Let's not forget that this was at a poker table at the main event of the WSOP while being filmed by ESPN.
The casino tapes where reviewed and it was confirmed and televised on ESPN that Lisandro had paid his ante .

and ... in my opinion the douchebag award goes to the guy who without proof calls another guy a thief, and not to the accused, who knowing he did not steal, subsequently threatens to kick the accusers ass if he doesn't STFU. I am amazed that many here think Lisandro was villian.

Me too. Moreover, I'm a bit suprised that a know pro like Prahlad would do this to another well know cash game player like Lisandro and not expect to hear about it and lose some respect among the other pros.
I respect Friedman's game bigtime and think he's a great player and though he was a cool dude, but lost a lot of respect for him after watching that whole thing. Lisandro overracted a bit but it's understandable IMHO. And not to harken back to the old days or anything but I'm sure saying that sort of sh*t in some underground club in Moscow or wherever could get you seriously beat up too.
