Who would you rather go for a pint with?
Some of that table pretend to be teetotal vegans and bax probably only has 2 units 3 times a month as part of his plan to live to 150.
I'd say Will would be a good laugh.

I remember him telling me that he is half Japanese and Half Middle Eastern.

Don't get all the hate for Benger in this thread. Kassouf comes off as so annoying. We are only seeing snippets of the actual table. Benger and the rest of them had to sit with him for entire days listening to his nonsense over and over again. I agree that Kassouf wasn't breaking any rules, but when my 4 year old puts his hand in front of my 3 year old's face and says "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you," he's also not breaking any rules, but I get that it's going to annoy my 3 year old, and if my 3 year old smacks him, I'm not going to fault him too much for that.

The fact that multiple people at the table refused to shake his hand afterwards tells me just how annoying it must've been to sit with that guy, especially when there is life changing money on the line, and ESPN cameras in your face.

He definitely goes full Asian at around 1:40 here against Selbst.

偉ぶって (Japanese for like a boss obv) Hell, I don't know. Looks good tho.

Watching the final hour of the ME was like OK, back to real poker.

And notice that the rest of the players getting all the hate from Kassouf's fanboy army were all back to normal (aka the cards and the moves were the story, not the jr high behavior) while watching Blather McSkinnyjeans at the EPT tank and spout the same tired "Need to know if I'm good" and "how far is Hollywood?" while players at his table roll their eyes says it all.

Out the door like a boss.

Posted on Dnegs twitter:
Day 6/7 Avg time pre/post flop:
Qui Nguyen 9/12
Griffin Benger 10/14
Cliff Josephy 11/14
Jerry Wong 18/26
William Kassouf 31/43

Includes ALL hands from day 6/7. Wong did some deliberately stalling at some point.
He averages 31 seconds pre per hand and that includes all folds..

On his twitter page Benger describes himself thusly:

"Counter strike legend
#1 online poker player"

He calls himself a legend, and the best online poker player. I'm surprised he hasn't given himself a nickname yet, maybe "The Defender", or perhaps "Norman Bates" is a better fit.

I don't know how these delusional & narcissistic humans are made, I really don't.

43 seconds? Good to see he really wasn't abusing his use of time then.

Better nicknames:

"Trigger Warning"
"Micro-Aggressor"

"You're abusing me"
"Check your privilege"

I'm surprised Benger didn't throw anything about rape culture in there...

Or that the deck of cards is a "Racist Trigger" by having spades as a suit.

Or that poker is a clear case of "Cultural Appropriation" from the French by using decks of cards representing the French Monarchy....

Daniel would have absolutely no way of knowing this. I mean, it would be literally impossible without watching 36 hours of raw tape and manually timing every hand they were involved in, which didn't happen. I'm sure this is from televised coverage only, and includes edits.

that's a great idea man. i'll definitely try to do that

How about Tony G and Benger. How would a SJW react to Tony G's abuse? LOL

"You are a disgrace on your bike"

"You are abusing me!"

"look at the little baby on your bike"

Tony G and Kassouf would be insta friends.

Pay close attention to the actions he takes and the words he uses and that might give you a clue.

Note to east coast low limit cash players, please do not consider this acceptable.

His twitter page now quotes Donald Trump's "locker room talk" excuse, as though that's supposedly to be funny. It isn't and it wasn't. The way Trump treats women and his excuses for it are reprehensible and Benger's failure to respect the plight of women makes it clear he is clueless.

On the other hand, Will Kassouf's twitter bio reads like he registered for an online dating website.

I'm a solicitor by profession and I'm also a professional poker player. I'm a chilled-out, fun loving kind of a guy, always up for a challenge and a good laugh!

You. Are. Verbally. Abusing. Me.

Pathetic

Reminds me more of David Brent every time I see him. Surprised he doesn't call himself an entertainer.

So if everyone played like Kassouf, a table would see 1/3rd the number of hands it normally does with average players. Yeah, that would be ****ing fantastic for poker. Let's get more Kassouf clones at every WSOP table because the speed of play is way too fast currently and everything he does is exactly "by the rules" according to his dbag fanboys.

Constant stalling and berating of people will make the game so much better.

Yeah, who wants to play the best poker tournament in the world when you can sit in mom's basement in your underwear and play 10$ spins?

definately wasnt a fan of kassouf just seemed obnoxious but wow that benger guy! literally check your privlidge? wtf is he talking about, and he was not verbally abusing him at all. guy just sounded like a little pussy.
