Does it really matter show much whether someone who is rude is a winner or not? Obviously the pro would be shitting where he eats but I'm not sure because someone loses money I'd let them act however they want.

From a purely cynical point of view, anyone behaving badly will discourage recs from playing poker.

But my real point is, it doesn't matter if Kassouf is the best player in the world or complete mug. Common decency is the least we should expect from anyone playing poker (or life for that matter).

clearly in live poker you give more leeway to those that make the game run than to those who sit there poaching money.

think Camels dreaming if he expects people to be good or nice, has he checked the news Cheesy

Chinese Frankie was the perfect example of a player who talked alot, but was always good fun and congenial.

If Kassouf finals, then it will be the most entertaining final table ever IMO.

Will is genuinely a nice guy. Spend a decent amount of time with him around the circuit.

I don't mind his antics as I've never see him do anything THAT bad but it does tilt me somewhat being on his table as you go from 30 hands an hour to 25.

He isn't malicious and is a great guy to have a drink or dinner with.

Also he isn't a loser at the game. He has an unorthodox style but his speech and live reads are huge for him and I've no doubt he is a solid winning player.

in the final 27

perhaps no face in the final 27 is more famous than Cliff Josephy, one of poker’s original online heroes who already has two WSOP bracelets to his name. Josephy is currently third on the leaderboard with 23,860,000.

He’s followed by James Obst in fourth (19,560,000). Obst is having a career summer, having already cashed in seven events, including a runner-up finish in the $10,000 HORSE championship.

Valentin Vornicu, one of the WSOP Circuit’s most successful players, is still alive as well. Vornicu has eight Circuit rings – tied for second place all time – but is still looking for his first bracelet. Vornicu currently sits in sixth with 17,450,000.

Tom Marchese, a candidate for best player without a bracelet, also advances to Day 7, and just might make his first WSOP win a big one. He’s in tenth with 15,420,000.

Griffin Benger, another online poker hero, made a deep run in the Main Event a couple years ago. He finished 90th in 2014, and has already bettered that finish this year. He enters Day 7 in 20th place with 6,530,000.  Despite Benger’s deep run a couple years ago, he’s now in uncharted territory.

Only one player among the final 27 has been in this position before. Antoine Saout made the November Nine in 2009, finishing in 3rd place. He’s currently in 24th with 5,525,000
