Antonio's bad attitude

I agree in general, but Bill Gazes was acting particularly strange at that point in the game, and he was also annoying. He acted like he had called "raise", and then forgot what he was doing. If you watched Gazes' table camera both before and after that hand, his hand were trembling as he looked at his cards. And soon after that hand (soon in WPT time), he was wandering around the room when the action was to him, forgetting he was still in the game. And we don't know what else may have been edited out. Antonio may have just been trying to get him focused.

That said, Antonio is equally annoying and often juvenile, and no one I'd want to go out for a few beers with after the game, but a good mix of different types of players makes for an interesting game. And guys like Antonio are like pro wrestling characters; you can immediately take a strong emotional stand of rooting for or against him. You know the old saying (that I just made up): there's no business that's not show business.
