An angry poker player got into a verbal dispute with another player at the table at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) after having his cards mucked in the big blind.
The verbal altercation between Georgia's James Heath and Maine's Darrell Blodgett took place on Sunday during Day 1 of Event #43: $800 8-Handed Deepstack No-Limit, which drew 3,903 runners for a prize pool of $2,732,100. And there was no love lost between two of those players.

Action folded to Theunis Goosen on the button, who moved all in for 140,000. Dalton Smith, in the small blind, thought for a while, then also moved all in, having Goosen and the big blind both covered. The big blind folded.
Theunis Goosen: A♦3♥
Dalton Smith: Q♠7♣
Nothing changed on the K♥4♣10♠ flop, but Smith picked up a straight draw when the J♠ came on the turn. No miracle for Smith on the 6♥ river, however, and with ace-high, Goosen was shipped the pot for a double-up.
