World Series Of Poker Player Acts Like Huge Jerk But Wins Hand Anyway

Trash talk isn’t uncommon at the World Series of Poker. It can be an effective tool, especially when you’re bluffing and trying to convince someone with a better hand to fold their cards.

There comes a point, though, when the trash talk turns from a tactic to downright disrespect.

That’s what happened recently in the World Series of Poker Main Event when William Kassouf  trash-talked Stacy Matuson, who had pocket queens and a 100 percent chance of winning the hand (although she obviously couldn’t have known that for sure).

Kassouf got to the point where a tournament official told him to stop talking, so then he started making hand gestures, which the official also told him to stop doing.

Matuson eventually folded, giving Kassouf the $1.12 million pot.

Kassouf received a one-round penalty for his actions.

The rest of the WSOP field — and fans of decent people everywhere — got the last laugh, though. Kassouf eventually was eliminated, moments after pulling the same act.
