Isle Classic Event #18 (Flight 1E): Things Getting Heated Over At Table 1

2017 Isle Classic | Event #18
$175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 15 (Blinds 1,500/3,000/500)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 183
Flight 1E Players Remaining: 42

Alan Saltzman (pictured left) and Tony Ruberto shifting focus to the matter at hand...tournament poker.

In one of the final hands of Level 14, Tony Ruberto opened the action at Table 1, with a raise to 5,000 (from late position).  Action then folded to Alan Saltzman in the big blind, who decided to three-bet shove for just over 75,000 (about half of Ruberto's stack).  That was the moment that the table was approached, with Tony in the tank, deciding what his next course of action would be.  "Why would you do that," Ruberto said out loud, as he peered back down as his cards.

"If I fold, will you show me," Tony then asked Saltzman, who replied with a "yes."  Ruberto proceeded to then table Q♥ Q♠, and muck the hand.  Saltzman quickly tossed his cards into the muck (face down), and began collecting his chips.  The two players then began having words just a few minutes later, with both parties being pulled aside by the tournament supervisor, and given warnings.  It's been calm since that moment, but these players will have to share the table for another hour...but it looks like the poker is going to do the talking from here on out.
