"Nice fold kid," Deeb said. "You play really good." Then Deeb turned up which was good for a low, but Groth had his high beat with his up cards.

"Maybe you should stick to Omaha," Deeb continued.

The two then got into a bit of a heated verbal tussle over something that was said yesterday. Groth seemed to think he was just joking, but Deeb had taken offense to it.

"You said you wanted to play me heads up," Deeb said.

"You said you wouldn't," Groth shot back.

"Play me a little bigger and maybe we will," Deeb said. "Who are you online?"

Deeb then offered some guesses about Groth's handle, to which Groth just shook his head.
