Tensions are High at Table 5
Darrick Arreola was speaking with PokerNews to let them know how he had accumulated his stack, which included the elimination of two players. At the very start of the day he got one when his AxKx held against the Ax10x of his opponent. A while later he ended up making a straight against a flopped set to push him further up in the counts.
At the same time, Konstantinos Nanos bet 2,300,000 on a river reading 8♥J♠6♦7♣2♣ and when he faced an all-in raise from Ghadi Akari, he was visibly upset. A long tank, a concerned face, clenched hands, and an eventual frustrated call saw him SLAM the table when he saw his opponent's 9♠10♠, causing a loud knock and startling some of his neighbors. Akari had made the nut straight on the turn and still had the nuts after the river fell.
The floor quickly approached the table to warn Nanos for his behavior but not before Arreola expressed himself as feeling unsafe. The floor assured Arreola that he would be speaking with Nanos, but he reproached Arreola first for being delicate.
Tensions can run high when there's half a million on the line.
