McDonald KO's Nguyen, More Words Exchanged

Livello 8 : 400/800, 0 ante

Just one hand after the Selbst-Nguyen controversy, Men Nguyen was in a hand with Mike McDonald. Nguyen was all in on a {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop against McDonald and hands were revealed.

Nguyen: {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
McDonald: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

The {8-Hearts} turn gave McDonald a flush and an irrelevant {9-Clubs} landed on the river, eliminating Nguyen. After the hand, Vanessa Selbst commented how McDonald was so blessed to have Nguyen give him literally all of his chips. She then went on the comment how he busted on the next hand. Nguyen took offense to this and began talking back and forth with her once again. Again, Matt Glantz stepped in to tell Nguyen he needed to stop and just leave.

The floor, who hadn't left the table since the controversy started, made his way around the table and pulled Nguyen aside, talking to him and telling him he should just leave the tournament area. Nguyen kept ranting about how the floor needed to speak with Selbst as well given the comment she made about how he busted on the very next hand. The floor did so and that was that.

After, Selbst made the comment, "He should have gotten a penalty," to the floor. She and Robert Mizrachi both said that they didn't want him to get a penalty because he was "giving away his chips" and that's why they weren't so adamant that he received one. The table seemed to be in agreement that the situation warranted a little more than just a verbal warning. Selbst and Mizrachi both looked at Mike McDonald, who was busy stacking his chips, and smiled, commenting on how he was the beneficiary of Nguyen "giving away chips."

McDonald is up to 126,000.
