Whitis Getting Riled Up
During the badugi round, David Whitis was making a bit of a mistake in the eyes of some of the players. Occasionally, he'd pull his draw card(s) aside before the action was on him, and that gives a definite advantage to the players acting behind him. After he noticed it the second time in the round, Shaun Deeb spoke up to caution him.
Whitis took a bit of offense, and he pleaded his case. "Come on, man!" he began getting frustrated, "I'm getting tired of everybody teling me what to do. You're sittin' here accusing me of things." Deeb put his hands up to calm Whitis down, but he was getting even more riled up. He was involved in a hand after drawing one card, and he slapped all four cards face-down near the muck as he continued to defend himself. There were two floormen standing right next to the table presiding over the situation, and they kept it from escalating any further.
After the hand, one of the floormen chimed in to caution Whitis against that mistake. Deeb also insisted he wasn't trying to berate Whitis, and the latter eventually apologized with a scolded frown.
Whitis is in the midst of a particularly robust massage, and we'd imagine it's hard to get too worked up when you're getting your shoulders rubbed by an attractive therapist.
