Expert Aruba play by Shaniac?
 

Let me set the scene a little.

Phil Hellmuth - dressed to the nines, in Ub gear and sunglasses - has just finished cutting the rug at a local club in Aruba. Phil is waiting for a cab with a few guests of his in the taxi line.

Our very own Shaniac comes strolling out of the same club, walks right in front of Phil and his group, opens the door of the approaching taxi and motions "This way gentlemen!"

Phil stunned by the unfoldings, mutters something to Shane, who shouts "New York rules, first in the cab, takes the cab."

A baffled Phil keeps walking futher down the street trying to find another cab, talking to himself, "Unbelievable, we were waiting five minutes, the nerve of that guy. He just stole our cab."

This is like Mike McD taking down Johnny Chan for one hand, only cooler and more fulfilling.

And would be funnier if he'd told them they were a 3 to 1 underdog to get the cab first, because he was standing closer, etc...

As much as I want to like this, I have to say that it sounds like a complete douchebag move. This is based on your statement that there was a "taxi line." If this were a street and Phil were standing in the middle of the block and shaniac walked by him closer to the corner and sniped the cab, awesome. But at a club with a taxi line? Douche. That's not New York rules. That's how shaniac gets his ass kicked in New York.
