Default Tony G - Not Just TV

just now at my 2k wsop omaha event table, tony g answered his phone while turning up his hand at showdown. he showed a2 for low and stood up from the table to talk on his phone. the dealer, a female, killed his hand for answering the phone and awarded the entire pot to the other player. tony g flipped out and rifled his entire stack of chips of about 20 right into the dealer's face like a bullet. he stormed off and less than a minute later he returned and hid a $100 chip in the dealer's shirt. the dealer handled it amazingly well, with professionalism. tony was issued a 1.5 hour penalty.

Harrah's and the WSOP should take action....they can't let big name players get away with childish bullsh*t like this, absolutely no place for this in poker...classless

Finally proven: It's impossible to get kicked out of a WSOP event if you've been on TV before.

the dealer made an incorrect ruling, but tony couldn't get it reversed because of his actions. tony came back after going for a 10 minute walk and smoothtalked the floor into removing the penalty. he is now playing through the round.
