In case you still don't understand (it's not super clear from the pic or Fedor's tweets), at a 4-handed final table one of the Brazilians, open-min-raised (2 BB) with AJo, another Brazilian went all-in for 7.1 BB from the button, and the first Brazilian folded. The first Brazilian had to only call another 5.1 BB into a heads up pot which was already 5.5 BB. If he calls and wins, it's 3 handed and he has an even bigger chiplead. If he calls and loses, he's still 2nd in chips. Obviously this was a very bad fold.
Patrick "Mobius" Howard, who apparently coaches these Brazilians, took offense, and posted this response:

This didn't go over very well with the poker community.
Among other things:
- He needled Ryan Leng (a nice guy who has a lot of respect from poker peers) when Leng had nothing to do with any of this
- He threatened a defamation suit (can screen names from Brazil sue for defamation?)
- He played the "racism" card
- His explanation sucked

And while I've had plenty of criticism for Scott Seiver in recent years (just his personality, nothing scam-related), I have to admit I've warmed up to the guy a lot in the past year.
