Tilted player flips poker table over on live stream
A poker tournament in Japan had a surprising disruption to the final table when an uninvited guest flipped the table.
Anyone who has played Monopoly knows that the only way to end the game is to angrily declare you've had enough and flipping the board over so nobody else can play. That has not been tried in poker, until now.
During a live stream from the final table at the Japan Gold Dragon tournament in Osaka, a very tilted person walks over to the table and attempts to flip it over. He wasn't able to completely turn the table upside down but it was enough to spill all the chips and drinks everywhere. The table legs buckled forcing the players to hold it up.
The man then argued with floor staff before leaving.
The tournament eventually continued. No doubt the only way it was able to carry on was because the live streamed game had RFID technology that tracked the chip amounts for the players before the table was flipped.
According to accounts the person who flipped the table was not even playing in the tournament and had some other issue with the floor staff.
