Nadar Kakhmazov was selected to change tables as his big blind came around. Kakhmazov had quite a large stack and took three full racks to gather it up. While he was making his way to the other table — which had been paused, waiting for his arrival — a couple of the players were getting impatient, including the player to Kakhmazov's immediate right.
Well, Kakhmazov and this player tangoed right away.
