Re: Sheik
I don't know why they didn't show the shoving match. But it's clear they had decided in editing that the Sheik would be the bad guy and played it up.
In the infamous Tiffany Williamson hand, where she was extremely rude, Norman Chad actually admonished the Sheik for politely telling Tiffany she couldn't consult her poker coach during the hand. I think Norman added his negative comments to that episode as foreshadowing Sheik's future behavior, because he was okay until then.
I'm NOT saying this guy was a nice guy, I think he crossed the line a few times (esp. during Matusows hand). But ESPN used that to single him out as a villian from his first innocuous appearance.
