The WSOP should require proof of vaccination to play in person. It's that simple. And, it's completely reasonable.

This fucking guy is tanking for 1-2 minutes PRE-FLOP every fucking hand since we’ve been 80 players from the money in the WSOP $800 buy in Independence Day tournament! 🤬🤬🤬

@JonShoreman The players at the table did call the floor and he was put on a clock. Apparently, the clock goes from 25 seconds, to 20 seconds and then 15 and finally 10 seconds preflop

@J9newsfeed Yes, all staff should be vaccinated. Look into the data of who is being hospitalized and dying from covid currently. 94-97% are not vaccinated.

HUGE controversy. Lost 3 million and my hand was declared dead and given a one round penalty. I’m beyond livid but will control just emotions so I can close this thing out hopefully. Goofy guy at my table has 8 million now. I’ll post details later.

@AllenKessler @AllenKessler definitely made the right call given his hand and the pot odds along with him suspecting strongly that I was on a flush draw given my large sized bet. We were nearly 50/50. He was just unlucky. If he wins that hand he has a decent stack. I would have done the same

@barnyboatman @pokerorg That’s exactly what I asked for. I said the look at the size of this pot and ask the other players how long it’s been. I was told, “I don’t have to ask the other players” and he never analyzed situation. But to his credit, he did summon another floor who came in yelling/flailing

@tyree1334 That’s a tricky question. You are allowed a reasonable amount of time after which you will be put on a clock if any player requests it. If the floor determines you are tanking to stall to get into the money you can be put on a progressively shorter clock then penalized further

@ChancesCards The WPT Venetian “money bubble” was excruciating yesterday bc the Euro tanking (for a lot lot longer than 10 seconds) preflop by three guys at my table started when we were 15 players from the money. FFS man. It definitely tilted me a little bit.
