Poker player owns 'bully', wins massive hand
Poker arguments are definitely on the more entertaining end of the sports fight spectrum. They're quite unusual, they never actually come to blows, and there's usually a lot of money at stake which makes things really intense.
We were treated to one at the World Series of Poker when it aired recently, and it was so immensely satisfying.
It started when notoriously outspoken British poker player William Kassouf began needling Canadian Griffin Benger while trying to figure out if he should take on Benger or not. Benger didn't like it, so he began defending himself:
"You're just an abusive person, man, it's not funny. It's not a game. You're being abusive. What you're doing to me, you're a bully. It's rude. It's mean."
Kassouf smiled his way through it and went all-in on Benger which, in a unexpected twist, was actually the worst thing he could've done.
Kassouf was holding a strong hand of pocket kings but, unbeknownst to him, Benger was sitting on pocket aces - giving him a more than 80 percent chance of winning the hand. Benger called Kassouf's bet, flipped over his cards, and Kassouf suddenly realized what was about to happen.
An eight, three and 10 came on the flop, and after another six came on the turn, Benger boasted a 95 percent chance of winning with one card left to be dealt. Another 10 came on the river, which secured Benger the win and sent Kassouf packing.
