Part II http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/ceegee/74681-Sick-Night-Part-II

Ray continues to banter at Ali in between hands until finally... It's the Razz round and I look down at three big cards (obviously) so I toss them. Ali and Ray get caught up in a hand which seems to be escalating into a big pot. Ali completes Ray two bets, Ali three bets, and pretty much every street is capped... in layman's terms, a giant sized pot filled with lot's of money. On the river, Ray check raises Ali and Ali calls, he turns over an 87 and Ray made an 86 to take the pot. As he's scooping all the chips up and the dealer is getting ready for the next hand, he says "That's right you scumbag, you deserve to lose, fuck you!" And that's when shit got real... Ali clearly became steamed and snapped at Ray "Dude, what the fuck is your problem? Do you want to take this outside!?" Ray jumped out of his seat and ran over to Ali and chest bumped him as he got in his face and said "Ya I do!" Ali shoved Ray causing him to lose his balance. They both started throwing punches at each other in a flailing manor until the floor manager ran in the room and told them calmly "If you guys want to fight, take it outside." The floorman acted like this was no surprise and walked out. Ali and Ray both while shoving each other back and forth sped walked over to the outside doors, and went at it again. At this point I am stunned and regret taking my camera phone out sooner, as I couldn't capture any good video now since they were across the way. I witnessed Ray standing right in front of Ali throwing some headbutts every thirty seconds while Ali kept yelling at Ray. At this point Ray stepped outside trying to get Ali to come outside to fight, kicking the doors and taunting him. Ali who seemed somewhat timid now, stayed inside the doors so Ray couldn't physically hit him. (Otherwise Ray would be barred from the casino, a poker player's worse punishment) 

Now, I figure, is the best time to quit this session as both of them seemed like they were done playing, onto fighting, and I had just profited 36k. I begin to rack up my chips as Ray and Ali come walking back with two smiles on their faces. I don't know what's going on and when they both come in the room Ali says to me "Oh everything is good now, we got it all out, we made up!" with a cheesy grin on his face. "Come on let's keep playing!" I felt real uneasy about this whole experience, and at this point I was committed to leaving. I told him no way, not after witnessing him getting headbutted, i rather not play in a hostile environment. He tells me "they were fake headbutts and nothing happened!" ... I saw the headbutts, they seemed pretty real to me. So I told him I'd play him another time and to have a good night as I walked out of Ivey's room ending my first session there. 

It all happened so fast, but it felt right playing that high. The mixed game world is definitely filled with excitement and drama, and I can only imagine what is in store in the future for me, but I can only hope that it contains more interesting nights in Ivey's room.
