The fact that neither of them got a penalty stunned me.

My understanding of the penalty rules is that only dropping an F-bomb or throwing cards off the table was cause for a penalty. Bludgeoning and eviscerating an opponent when the decision is on him would only get a penalty if you exclaimed "F***, this guy is hard to field-dress" or tossed your cards off the table in the process.

If there was no tournament director or floorman there, I am pretty sure Lisandro would've beaten Friedman into the ground.

The reason people act like tools when they play poker is because they see BS like this Friedman/Lisandro fiasco not only tolerated, but encouraged for the viewing audience. People believe that being an [censored] is a fast track to being on TV, and many times it is. It's easier to get on TV by being a dick as opposed to playing good poker. What ESPN should do is cut out any of this garbage and just show poker.
