p.s--I am certain I would hate playing with both of them equally, but I can respect what he did more than what she did

Kassouf has those Jamie Gold gift of gab skills, but smarter and with actual poker strat knowledge.
Wonder if Jack rules the same way if villain in hand was male?
nine high like a boss ftw

What makes you guys assume gender played into this in any way?

If someone takes 10 minutes every ****ing time someone is all in, which happens quite often in a tournament, some of the older players would literally die a natural death.
He's being an ******* too but at least he is doing it to get some sort of an edge, she's just whining about people giving away information and rightfully calling the clock. Wish he would have T-bagged her right on that table.
You're a credit to our gender.

What he needed to do was comply with the floor's direction and then, if he had a problem with it, deal with it after the hand. It's not very different from getting a parking ticket you think you didn't deserve. You don't rip up the ticket and ignore it. You go to your hearing and plead your case.
This. It's not like he was clarifying that he would show if she folded - that was 100% clear already since he kept saying it over and over. Whether you agree that he should've been made to stop talking or not, once he's told to, the penalty for miming the same thing shouldn't be at all surprising.
