Will Kassouf discussion

Tired of Kassouf saying he's not wasting time when he's 100% wasting time.

Well if he wanted a shot clock in poker in the main event he's doing a great job of making a case for it.

If there was even ONE more player who acted like this guy in the top 100 there would 100% be some shot clock implemented by this point.

realizing barstool sports supports him.. now everything makes sense lol

Antics aside he's done a remarkable job nursing this short stack, I don't think he's been above 5-6 million since dinner break last night

I've been watching Kassouf's table for more than two hours now and without his antics and non-stop babbling it would be like watching paint dry tbh. Even if he's annoying, I'd rather have this than the rest of these charisma black holes sitting there in silence.

None of the other players would care if it was just speech play, it’s the slow play.

He has heart of the lion

I love Will Kassouf. He should get a Hugo Boss sponsorship.

Are we still just chalking it up to 'speech play'?

Can you not hear him in the background during hands crying to his rail? He's clearly very mentally ill and doesn't have the capacity to understand why.

WSOP has nobody but themselves to blame for how they've handled this situation so far.

They've given him so much air time and publicity instead of ignoring him, and put him on the feature table for the past like 4 days.

Whatever becomes of this is entirely the fault of WSOP and on a smaller scale, of PokerGO as well.

I find him pretty funny tbh, I didn’t want him to bust when he was all in. It’s entertaining, I wouldn’t be watching otherwise

exactly

Hope he drinks 6 more red bulls

kassouf with the ultra high level play, getting put on a 1 round penalty to earn the pay jump

hes delioberatly tanking and annoying players and floor

but also for the last decade people have said poker is boring with people staring at each other for 3-4 mins. and thats the truth

So he does not realize when you call the rest of your table "little bitches" you're most likely to get a penalty?

Normalising Kasouffs’s behaviour is net negative for poker culture. He is actively trying to make the playing experience worse for his table mates, recs and pros alike when many of his opponents are playing for life changing amounts of money

Table talk and making poker a more social experience is a good thing that should be encouraged. This is not what that is and not behaviour that should be encouraged

He does seem like he’s been taking drugs all week and not been to sleep

wasn't there a poker game show with shot clocks?

id like to see him play that

Imagine if that "check your privilege" sniveler had been at his table again 😃

Already getting my popcorn ready for next year

>50% I doubt he'll be allowed back next year

also it only becomes interesting if he makes deep runs.

He was entertaining for a while, but things got pretty dark at the bust out. Yikes.

He’s too good for poker tbh

Will Kassouf Escorted From WSOP Premises & Banned After Main Event Exit

Will Kassouf has been escorted from the WSOP premises and banned from playing for the remainder of this year's series after a fiery and chaotic exit on Day 7 of the Main Event.

WSOP US Circuit Tournament Director Dennis Jones would inform Kassouf after his 33rd-place finish that he would be escorted to collect his payout and let him know he wouldn't be welcomed back for the remainder of the 2025 WSOP, which ends on Wednesday.

I agree very likely he is banned for his behavior toward the floor staff and Jack.

Also agree, this has been handled poorly by WSOP. It's pretty simple, his 30 second clock is due to his cumulative behavior or wasting the clock and making game generally miserable for others.

Will's lack of social awareness indicates some possible mental health issues.
