Dan 'Jungleman' Cates got the heave-ho from Hustler Casino Live after an angry card toss that hit the dealer during Friday night's episode of Hustler Casino Live. 

The moment came to pass in a $14K pot when Jack C tossed in a pot-sized bet with on a board of . Jack C had previously bet the flop with nothing before going runner-runner to steal the pot. 

Jungleman called the river bet incorrectly with his and slammed the table with a handful of chips before launching both cards across the table.

'Sorry again' 

The rest of the table, which also included Nik Airball, grimaced as the cards sliced into the dealer, named 'Magic', and landed in front of Big Mike. Jungleman apologized immediately and tossed Magic what looked like a $200 tip

Commentary called it a "major party foul" and casino staff soon pulled Jungleman away to call it a night. He returned to collect his chips without incident. 

Dan Cates: 'Jungleman' or 'Henchman'? Jungleman had a poor attitude on Friday night in LA.

"Sorry again," Jungleman told Magic and the rest of the table. "Obviously I didn't mean to throw it at you. I was just, like, angry and threw it."

The total loss for Jungleman was $33,400 in the three hours that he played. The ban appears temporary, though the commentary team was unsure how long it would last. Everyone else continued on for a couple of hours before 'King Henry' Guttman was the big winner with $119K in the green.
