Verbal Sparring Match Between Mizzi and Marafioti
There is a shot stack player all in with 14,000 in the main pot, as a side pot brews between Matt Marafioti and his opponent. With over 12,000 in the side pot the board reads and Marafioti checks to his opponent. The player fires out a bet of 11,500 and Marafioti heads deep into the tank. After a few minutes Sorel Mizzi asks the dealer for a clock and Marafioti releases his hand into the muck.
The player turns over and takes down the side pot, as well as the main pot against the short stacks when the board runs out . Marafioti says he folded and then asks if someone called the clock on him.
Mizzi picks his head up and says he was the one who called clock and things get tense at table 11.
"I had sevens on that board! You guys are discussing what is going on in the hand, trying to figure out what I have, and then you call clock on me?" questioned Marafioti.
"Yeah man, you took a while. You should be busted and now you're free rolling, congratulations!" Mizzi fires back.
"You know you only say hi to me when we are at the same table, Sorel. Are you jealous or something?"
The two continue to banter back and forth for a little while longer but eventually the confrontation cooled down. The table isn't going to break for a while so we will definitely keep an eye on the feud as play continues.
