He'd probably piss me off if I was playing with him, but he's absolutely making the stream a bit more entertaining.

Lol I missed this, bit of a dick move that. He's never had any charisma.

Looks like the internet chatter about Smith had him bring his headphones, Kabrhel has him on mini tilt lol

Smith vs Kabrhel is something else

The only way to combat that type of behavior, is to utilize ultra dry sarcasm that Kabrhel has to either act like he doesn't understand (while others understand and chuckle) and continue banter OR he has to then ask "wait are you insulting me" and will discourage him directing comments towards you.

I can appreciate Aldemir who actually completely ignored him.

Agree on both points.

Martin would annoy me if I was playing, but there aren’t many other players I’d rather watch on a livestream, which can be pretty boring even for poker diehards.

Not only is it funny to watch him piss off the other players, but he plays very creatively, and it’s fun to watch his antagonizing antics make even the best players in the world tilt off. Like that hand against Martirosyan on the 885 flop, where Artur reraised Martin’s flop CR was bizarre. I knew Martin was gonna play back at him, and I think if Artur wasn’t tilted he would’ve played it better.

Then the 93dd hand where Martin jammed. I think Artur was just trying to make Martin sweat a bit and he wasn’t really considering a call, but I was really hoping for it. Would’ve been one of the sickest calls (given the situation) that I’ve seen in a long time.

And to point #2, Dan Smith is a total twat. I was pretty neutral/slightly positive on him (mostly cause of his charity work) prior to the Koon drama at Triton, but after that situation and watching him tonight I’m actively rooting for the guy to lose.

He’s a rude, whiny, little bitch.

Oh how the turn tables my friend . . .



I was at the $250K final two tables and Kahbrel lost me forever when he stood up and "stretched" by very quickly bouncing three times with his arms in front of him and got his hands to just an inch or two past his knees.

How a grown man thinks that is stretching is beyond me. It hurt to watch. Taking 2 minutes to actually hold that stretch each morning and once during the day will do wonders for making you feel better. That man must barely be able to move at all. (before this site does its thing and shred me, DO IT, just do it, and see how you feel . . . I imagine 95% of this site has not stretched since high school)

At the same time, he was the only guy at the table who spoke.
Ivey is much taller than I thought, and Dan Smith before dinner break was pacing around like he was about to get in an MMA ring.

Depending on how I feel later tonight I'll probably go check out the final table.

I watch and follow a ton of poker and except Bakes all of those are literal whos. And even Bakes Ive only heard about because hes been playing for over a decade, hes not an interesting person I want to see play.

Disliked Dan Smith forever. Theres just something about him thats very unlikeable. Im not a tall guy myself so Im not really a fan of the term but he really screams small man syndrome.

But it’s not correct to say there’s “no one left” just because you’ve never heard of them. They are clearly accomplished players. Some possible future poker Hall of Famers on there if they continue their current trajectory

Kornuth is becoming one of my favorite players. Such a beast. Hope he wins this.

This is unwatchable

Honestly just stop.

Glaser is a 2+2 legend, was the main poster of hands in the high stakes threads for years , happy that it worked in his favour as he shared those for everyone with no obligation and often no thanks.

Glaser is a poker legend

How is Dan Smith liking that action? lol

Was just at the Thunderdome after busting the Monster Stack ($3,001 payout ho hum), Kabrhel was fn hilarious to me, watching him live. Not sure how it comes across on tv. I’d much rather have a guy spicing it up and talking than a boring snooze fest of stoic GTO bots.

Dan on tilt!

What did he say when he asked him why he said I hope you get barred? Did he say “because of your antics?”

Dannnnnnggggg!

What a whiny pos Dan is, wtf grow a pair dude, between this and his “shushing” the table at Triton, guy is insufferable.

Yep, calls for a ban because the player annoyed him lmao

Welcome to the WSOP, you're not in the Triton Sandbox any more

Brewer is full on blocking his cards completely. They’re definitely concerned about some shenanigans.

I kneww dan was gonna say something i ****ing knew it LMAO

I hope hes not a cheater if he is hes a big POS but i assume players would have noticed more markings today?

also if hes not a cheater than hes massively entertaining, would hate to play for him for a week straight tho lol

Thing about the WSOP, unlike Triton etc., is that he doesnt owe anyone anything. He's allowed to troll as much as he wants as long as the floor allows it.

I don't get why the commentators were saying/implying all the time that 99% of the people [online/watching] were rooting against Kabruel [sp?]

I mean he made the FT much more watchable than normal. As he put the boring pros out of their comfort zone... and it felt more like a late night cash game... than a snooze fest of pros playing by the numbers.

The commentators were painting him as a villain [fine].... but the suggestion the chat were 99% rooting against him, has to be wrong? Surely? Unless I'm the idiot.

And if Kabruel hasn't been cheating [and I presume he hasn't] - then Dan Smith accusing him, is awful etiquette. I mean being that b&tt hurt after being knocked out, to blurt out implications of Kabruel cheating... what an a$$hat
