So happy to see the comments slating Benger. How he reacted to Kassouf here was horrible, aggressive and genuinely abusive.

[@Rindiculousfun]

Kassouf basically talked to Benger like this for 18 minutes (tv has shortened this hand immensely)...if I was Benger I'd do the exact same thing because this guy is the biggest piece of shit in poker. I'd probably be fine if he just talked super annoyingly all the time, but it's not just that. He tanks every single time the action is on him just to waste everyone's time and be a dick. He's the reason why poker will have to get a 30 second time clock because he's abusing the rules and everyone he plays against. I don't understand why all these comments commend a complete and utter asshole who has no respect for anyone but himself.

Your verbally abusing me, how girly are some men these days

[@nealsandoval]

then they should allow ppl fighting so that way he could be less girly? i surely would love to punch kassouf's nose

[@Gooner1990]

@Marcus Cato same goes for Benger

[@arbiterofreason2068]

@TONALD DRUMP The world needs more grammar police like you!

[@arbiterofreason2068]

@@nealsandoval Benger would only fight alongside antifa wearing a balaclava, gassing women in the face and then ducking back into the black block!

[@jameshackney7314]

Verbal abuse 😹😹😹asking he wants him to call, saying 90k is 90k benger is a muppet ahahaha

[@trizius7615]

benger waiting and holding the angle for the right timing like back in his 1.6 days as ShaGuaR wat a legend

[@drewlarson7728]

No one mentioning Benger's slow play with aces, got a guy talking to you slowing you down.

[@drewlarson7728]

Guess it doesn't matter, whatever happens he's cooler.

[@DaveDepilot-KFRG]

Benger must be from the French speaking part of Canada.

[@yuryk1989]

Why

[@user-gl6vp1jv3e]

"Check your priviledge"

[@meiermeier29]

The rant was to make it seem like he wanted a fold. Especially after the clock was called.

[@tonysaluta9142]

Was really kind of hoping for a king to come out lol

[@BoxStudioExecutive]

"Ask anyone here, your word against theirs" and you see the faint hint of a smirk/smile grace Benger's mouth. No one who was legitimately triggered by Kassouf would have done that. Gives away the game that his outburst was just a special tactic

[@jamo3976]

lol are you serious? His speech to the audience after obviously shows he was upset

[@RyanLockwood]

a wild Raticate has appeared: Raticate uses British antics! It's super effective!

[@paullentz1972]

A king would have DEVISTATED that whole table!

[@vambo13257]

Will was the one who got played, Benger went off on him and he shoved into AA!

[@kurtsloop2462]

Ill lay 2 to 1 odds that Benger probably puts pineapple and goat cheese on his pizza

[@allancouceiro9255]

Pineapple Goats Cheese pizza? Mmmmmyuuumm.......

[@zykovii1868]

@@allancouceiro9255 Yeah, I Don't know what pizza has to do with this.. leave pizza out of this.

[@coyotes16]

ZykoVII .... pizza has left the chat

[@jaymzechapman9834]

Hey man! Pineapples belong on pizza! Check your damn privelage!!!😤😤

[@rexlr695]

Gordon Ramsey said that pine apple doesn't belong on pizza, and as respected of a chef as he is, he is British. We kicked the absolute shit out of the British in 1776 and I don't have to listen to anything a nancy boy Brit has to say about anything. So as an American, I'm going to put pineapple on my pizza and there's nothing you can do about it because you are a timid beta male. lol

[@alexkuhn1451]

Low key I think he leveled him into calling with the outburst

[@santiagorodriguez2940]

He was trying to get JJ and AK to move in, not that it mattered here because KK was always shoving

[@muunrunner4070]

Does he have me covered? That sums it up for me.

[@andrewg6241]

I'm going to defend Benger. None you you were playing a high-stress tournament for millions of dollars, 6 days in, having to hear Kassouf's nonsense for hours on end. The broadcast was only able to capture a fraction of Kassouf's antics. He was probably jabbering away every hand he played. Wouldn't that wear you out after a while?

[@dabeveryday9991]

100% man, im on Benger's side for this

[@JohnSmith-su3ze]

Kassouf: Do you want me to go all-in or fold? Talk to me Benger: You're being abusive, you're a bad person WTF??!?

[@michaelmccarty1327]

Benger should have just answered his question like a decent human being.

[@blind-oxmusic2570]

he was doing that the whole tourney

[@kmoore02809]

While I'm no fan of Benger's behavior, Kassouf's 'speech play' was a deliberate attempt to get Benger to talk about his hand. If Benger responded to Kassouf's inquiries in any way, Kassouf would immediately yell 'floor' and get Benger penalized. That was his intent.

[@parsatayebi7652]

And instead Benger baited this guy in like a fish, the sheer look on Kassoufs face after he realized "Shit he baited me into Aces" was priceless.

[@The-Black-Death]

When your Charisma is way higher than your Intelligence.

[@user-ig1oc3wc6d]

Benger is probably more of a mom to his kids than a dad

[@2hot4u68]

that's what his wife's boyfriend says too

[@nicholi2789]

Check your privilege

[@roykofarm2226]

Its obvius Kassouf is just wasting time. Doesnt matter what information he get, he will never fold that KK. This Hand should be instant all-in showdown.

[@Jabberwocky818]

Except.. Not really considering it's tournament play and EV is more or less thrown out the window.. It's definitely a fold he can make.

[@Bigpimpin9393]

Came here cause the short cut off before the flop 😡

[@jefflarson3693]

Everyone does realize the actual time waiting pre flop was 15 minutes.
