Default Bad Beat?

Tampa FL - May 2, 2009

I just sit down at a table when there is a bunch of commotion about a pot on the table next to me. It is a 5/10 game max buy in $100. (lol)

Well a 4k pot with a max buy in of $100 is a big deal in this place and after losing the gentlemen stands up and calmly walks to the exit.

5 minutes later his friend returns with a HORRIFIED look on his face holding his cell phone in front of him staring at the screen and says the following:

"He killed himself... He killed himself.. He called me, told me to come outside and take a picture of him on my cell phone, as I was taking it he pulled out a gun and said 'This is the last picture anyone will ever take of me' and he SHOT HIMSELF"

4 good friends at the 5/10 table of his started crying and screaming and calling people.

I would say that this guy needs lessons in how to take a beat, but after I saw he responded I suppose lessons are out of the question.
