Bucceri Wins Hand, Ignites Argument, Gets Penalized

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The hand is picked up on the flop with small blind Buck Bucceri calling Ablahad Salim raise to 700,000 chips.

The board read 783. The 3 on the turn paired the board.

Salim announced an all-in bet out of turn. A discussion ensued over just how to handle it.

After much discussion, and a four-minute tank, Bucceri bet 120,000. Salim just called instead of moving all in.

The board paired again when the 7 hit on the river.

Bucceri checked and Salim immediately moved all in with nearly 3,000,000 chips.

This sent Bucceri into the tank again.

When Bucceri asked Salim if he would show his hand if he folded, it started an argument between him and others at the table.

The loud exchange led to the floor coming over to lower tensions.

Meanwhile, Bucceri still had not said whether he was calling the all-in.

At some point during the shouting, he apparently tossed in a chip to call.

Salim showed J10 for a pure bluff. Bucceri had AQ giving him the win with an ace to go with the two pair on the board.

He then got up and squeezed the shoulder of Farzad Bonyadi, saying he was not mad at him for calling him out on the table talk.

"Don't touch me," Bonyadi said.

Bucceri started walking away, then glanced back at Bonyadi and said "Pussy."

"Fuck you," Bonyadi responded.

The floor penalized both players a rotation.
