Before the hand began, Amnon Filippi yelled "David!" quite loudly at David Benyamine, who was staring down at the table, clad in his noise cancelling headphones. Filippi finally thew a piece of paper in Benyamine's direction before Benyamine noticed to take the headphones off.
"Just wanted to make sure you know the limits went up." said Filippi.
"I know, I've got the right blind out there." replied Benyamine
"I just wanted to make sure you knew," shot back Filippi.
"I'm five steps ahead of where you are right now," Benyamine said and Filippi replied with a laugh as he raised. Action folded to Benyamine's big blind as he made the call. Both players took three and both checked.
