You get those people who push you to the edge. They keep chirping, playing themselves up, while you sit pretty, knowing you’re going to crush their ass.
But they just don’t stop.
When English player William Kassouf did exactly that to Canadian professional poker player Griffin Benger during this year’s World Series of Poker, Benger chose to react with a stern talking-to.
This, from Newser:
According to Fox Sports, Kassouf is a “very polarizing player in the poker world” because he tries to annoy his opponents into mistakes through constant trash talk. (He even had another player threaten to beat him up once.)
On the hand in question, Benger raised Kassouf to $5.6 million and Kassouf kept talking, asking Benger what he should do, the Daily Dot reports.
Eventually, Benger snaps.
You’re just an abusive person, man. It’s not funny. It’s not a game. You’re being abusive. What you’re doing to me, you’re a bully. It’s rude. It’s mean.
Watch the banter from about 1:40, and Benger snap around 4:44:
Damn, how good was it that Benger’s pocket aces beat Kassouf’s pocket kings?
