A poker game in Michigan turned physical after a player and dealer got into a heated argument over the blind level during a low-stakes tournament.
According to , the incident happened at the Davison Poker Room in Davison, Michigan, during a $20 rebuy No-Limit Hold'em tournament.
The dispute started when player Eric Knopp, also known as "Bobby," questioned whether he owed a 4,000 or 6,000-chip big blind. Knopp argued that the deck had already been cut before the blinds increased.
The argument escalated, with both the player and dealer getting out of their chairs. The dealer then grabbed Knopp and wrestled him to the ground before another player intervened and separated them.
The incident was captured on video and later shared in the Team Michigan Poker Facebook group.

What do you think? Was the dealer justified in confronting the player, or should the situation have been handled by the floor/security without any physical confrontation?
