I'm like irritated then I hit I went a hand get the high hand and then I go
take a quick break I choke the guy out I'm like oh nice good now
Michael hey hell of a guy long time buddy I hit him up and he says
sure let's play a little - five I need some motivation
I say it's fate you got to go with your gut as long as you don't have a bad
feeling he's got to be a roll with him so he's gonna join us at the Venetian
very soon it feels good to be you guys
the aftermath of drama at the poker room question I invited you to play a little
two five game you took the invite you wanted to meet bend each yes he's a
famous Reno blogger I just hit a hand I qualified for the high hand not Venetian
in the to five game which I didn't know what's going on when I hit the hand
everybody's like all shocks I hit a queen-high straight flush oh sweet so I
got a hold for like 30 minutes and I get the thousand dollar bonus for the high
head so while I'm sitting there I said come on take a break her in the restroom
this mess so I get up after the hand and I walk out I'm walking out the poker
room around the edge of the X of the poker room there was an empty table and
there was a couple that was one the guy was sitting the girl was standing and
they were in the argument as I'm walking up so I'm only a few feet away but I see
this argument then like she smacks the boyfriend on the shoulder and he got
pretty irate over just that argument so he jumped up and he cold-cocked her boom
right in the face square shunned her head back I was like I was shocked by
what I just seen he proceeds to grab her and started choking her and he's telling
her I'm gonna have to kill you I'm gonna have to kill you never touch me again
and I look around I'm like man this is bad like there's nobody
around to protect this girl at all she's got punched in the face he's choking her
and so at my split-second decision I decided I'm gonna try it's up there as
quick as possible so I proceeded to grab him Stayman rear naked chokehold
so I'd suck it in I held him I put my hooks in people see most going on they
see what happened they jump up they come over and they want make sure this give
up holding me and I want to make sure nice I'm feeling fully - he was a
good-sized guy you had this anger is great threatening so I was just really
sad and focused on putting to sleep less possible I was my buddy Mike
my buddy Mike
so I made sure that I held up helping the chokehold enter we hit the ground he
fell asleep meanwhile his girlfriend was of course
now they always go like you're protecting her and then now she's
protecting the guy just pleasure the face is choking by yelling at me and
reaching at me but you have to be real conscious of and be aware of your
surroundings because she could have a knife a bottle something and down
but luckily people were there and they came in interviewing as quick as
possible and by the time they got there fell asleep and standing at the ground
and made sure he was asleep yeah he was out you seen the per se if
it's I've ran ran away from the two-five cash being with bend each I didn't grab
my phone yeah I didn't even think about getting video I wish I would open
hindsight but set your seat once I saw you on top of this guy with full choke
and hooks in while he was standing I had no idea what was going on you only
had a split second to react if you had to you know save this girl's life
there's no security around no no no but take them out it's a big-ass guy and
what size do you say all right I'm not even try to know anything really there
is no science I'm worried about to be honest cuz your jiu-jitsu background
yeah yeah they're really trained you to be able to subdue on the side larger
than you so you don't really fear that if you're if you're confident in your
abilities that you know where you can attack your opponent's we're also like
to just gives you about the opportunity in a confrontation like this where I
subdue the opponent and put up fully to sleep but outside that I didn't hurt the
guy he just went to sleep you know and I'll say both subdued of
thread without actually hurting the guy no punches thrown no punches he's got
his back I got his back in the place yeah I jumped on like a 200-pound spider
monkey
the biggest threat was his girlfriend who was irate yelling you know let him
go let him go
and I was there I had my eyes on the girl I had my eyes on the guy
if the girl was to come at Mike I was there to stop the girl Mike had this
situation under control I was gonna control the girl which is probably a
fair fight the security asked the guy again are you sure you don't want to
press charges and he goes who did it he didn't even go
he bit who took him out but show me on I'll press charges and that's when I
knew I had to talk to the potpourri manager and say listen you know Mike's a
good guy don't he he's protecting this girl he
didn't start it he's not in the wrong here he's not an aggressive violent
person so it's based on that poor man said yeah I've known Mike for five years
we're gonna do everything we can but it's kind of out of our hands it's all
about security in the footage possibly the police you might have to go to jail
that's when I got a little worried I said what can I do to make sure Mike
doesn't go to jail before man said just go over there and call him down make
sure he doesn't do anything stupid it doesn't get out right so I went over to
Mike said listen you know everything's going to be taken care of it's all on
the cameras the footage is there you're in the right from the salt defense they
were protecting the girl and at this point is when more commotion
broke out with the guy that just woke up and getting choked out he starts getting
real violent and yelling the girls yelling security has to put him up
against the barrier cage brawl three or four guys and they took him and the girl
away and Mike did you go to jail
I came here a victory dinner on the house on the House of Bishops a dinner
very good very good security management everything they knew I was in the right
place in the video not only let me off the hook completely they shook my hand
and thanked me like I let a guy cut your girl in the face and start over it's
just not going to happen and that's like I knew my head I'm like
a mother face repercussion I know that there's no I'm gonna get 86
I might go to jail whatever the case may be but I just know what's right is right
no matter what that's the work party and I just led I just trust in the video to
show that even if I go to jail they search video to show that I was like you
know it's just like there was nobody around to defend her he's choking or
literally choke her she is gurgling while this is like I was the closest
person that could save her you know I mean so it's like I just did what
naturally felt right and I just decided not to do with everything post so but
everybody was great man but he should agree I had a lot of people have my back
in the room the players or the four people dealers
say security was really nice to me they did the right thing to which it says a
lot about them they didn't just says to me oh you know you got an altercation
you're 86 oh you're done and they could have done that and I would have expected
it but they actually went above and beyond its
they let me stay home 45 seconds 30 seconds expect this tonight I win high
hand and I choke the full lap hey you came right when I was still alive good
somebody slugged you finally I put my um put my head into any finally fell I
guess I'm supposed to go after this because he's like it's called a night
after your hand oh yeah but they're not going to know you guys have cameras so
I'm like I just trusted kill this no matter what so when they're still
twitching until somebody tells me is out am I gonna know what is that I saw it 20
more bad it held these all you're gonna perform it at the high hand or only six
thousand dollars hitting the balance so that will be stuck I'm going to jail and
I got a good lawyer all these random people come over shaking my hand saying
man thank you and the women were like thank you for being here for us
you know like cuz what can they do you know I mean it's unfortunate a girl like
in the moment stands up for her guy but you just kind of always expect that even
though you're protecting you heard what's right easy it just always do that
this is sad for them because they don't see what's happening
you're a victim of domestic violence it gets in the woman's head that he only
beats me because he loves me yeah don't fall victims that if he really
loves you he wouldn't beat you it's just common sense women say no to domestic
violence can you only imagine what happens behind closed doors I mean you
just hope that the girl will see the light someday but they both walk out
handcuffed so you just handcuffed in she got handcuffed you know so yeah I guess
two pieces of hog you know but I'm still not no matter
maybe one day you'll see
it's better to do the right thing and accept the consequences and regret not
doing anything at all justice prevailed and a happy ending was haddad Venetian
there was yeah thanks for inviting me out
