Tempers flare during the Balkan Poker Circuit Event (video included)

[Shells]

Video footage uploaded to YouTube shows scenes of chaos as a group of men fought with fists, chairs, and anything else they could grab at the King's Casino Rovazdov. No one is sure what or exactly who started the scuffle.

Pretty sad! COVID cabin fever run amok?

Sounds like a reasonable explanation, doesn't it? King's Casino has been back in business for a couple of months now, so who knows what spurred this on!

From Daniel's CardsChat article:

“As if out of nowhere, a player got up and hit another player in the head five times or more. The blood is spattered all over the table. The victim fell over and the offender continued to hit him,” the spectator, “heizmaullui,” wrote on 2+2.​

This time I will attribute it to something someone said.

Whatever episodes of violence that are documented in poker rooms - I am always amazed that there is not more violence considering how much money crosses the tables.

Shells - take a trip to Europe and find out what happened for us - will you?

Yep, you're good as long as the flight doesn't make any stops in the US.

Looks like any normal weekend night after the bars and clubs close and people head to the Casino security always busy many members lose their mind and membership.

Maybe a sick bad beat or some table trash talk with alcohol.
I was long ago 2 times in Rozvadov and all poker players behaved well.
By the way since jul 1st there is no mask wearing in Czech casinos anymore.

Now all I need is someone to cover my flight costs?

Cardschat News, of course!

.... or, Cardschat Podcasts - you could do a live podcast during the next riot. Hmmmm, maybe that's not such a great suggestion. I'd hold out for a 1st class ticket before signing on for that.​

It would be kind of fun though, wouldn't it?! The duration of the flight requires First Class, the way I see it.

Absolutely! BTW, if you need a videographer to go along with you, I'm sure I can make myself available. We can get 1st class cabins across the aisle from each other. The price goes ups slightly to $10,000 all-in (ea.)

Slowrolling or angle-shooting was another common trigger for violence during games in the 'olden' days, wouldn't surprise me if something like that happened here.

Good thing this event wasn't held in the USA.

Imagine gun carnage, instead of chairs.
