WPT Bucharest sees tempers flare

2010-03-30 14:26:36

The latest leg of the World Poker tour has seen its fair share of action already, with one competitor letting his temper get the best of him during the event.

Football agent Giovanni Becali was forced to the leave the gaming area after launching a verbal attack on the tournament director.

Following a floor ruling with which he did not agree, Becali threw his chips into the air before heading towards the official.

A brief quarrel broke out before the Romanian grabbed his jacket and made a beeline for the door.

According to Gambling Online Magazine, this is not the first time the poker enthusiast has lost his cool when the cameras were on him, having previously remonstrated with the host of a football show before spitting in his face.

Sorin Constantinescu, chief executive officer of WPT Bucharest venue Regent Casino, said before the event that he hoped the "great tournament action" would keep people coming back.
