WTF?

[user46392]

A bit of an altercation had started between Phil Hellmuth and Alex Keating, and was not improved any when Alex Keating's pocket tens started good and stayed good against Hellmuth's {8-?} {10-?} on a {6-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {9-Spades} board, leaving Hellmuth on 20,000 at the end of the hand.

To be honest we have no idea what the dispute is about, but the phrase "heads up for rolls" was voiced by Keating at one point, and his bellows of, "I CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE OF THIS!" still periodically reverberate around the Amazon Room. Naturally a crowd has formed to enjoy the show. The floor was called over and banned the two from speaking to each other, but apparently Hellmuth kept talking anyway; Keating reasonably decided that if Hellmuth was allowed to talk then so was he. So yes, no idea what that's about. We'll keep our scandal radar turned to max...
