A player in the $1.1k Little One for One Drop, who claimed to be named Cory A. Cunningham, got belligerent and had to be escorted off the tournament floor by security Thursday night.
Cunningham was eventually disqualified from the tournament but received his buy-in back.
The incident began after Cunningham and an opponent at his table had been sparring back and forth. There was a disagreement over spending too much time in a hand, which led to Cunningham yelling “Time! Time! Time!”
Security Called to the Floor
Tournament director Jack Effel tried to reason with Cunningham but he got progressively more aggressive as time went on.
By this point a crowd had gathered around Cunningham’s table and action grinded to a halt in the tournament. Security was called to the table. Cunningham screamed at security to “get the f*** away.”
Cunningham was yelling at the dealer to show him what his opponent had but she put the cards into the muck.
Eventually Cunningham had to be physically dragged away from the table by a couple players while security assisted.
