The British guy with taped mouth - did he cash?
 

He cracked me up. I hope he got some money out of the WSOP.

Re: The British guy with taped mouth - did he cash?
 

I'm pretty sure he did. He was actually incredibly annoying to listen to while at the Rio.

Re: The British guy with taped mouth - did he cash?
 

One common trend in the WSOP this decade. The respect has gone out the window. Yesterdays episode was a clear example from all players filmed. I'm surprised someone didn't get up in his face and demand him to show some respect to the other players concentrating on their game. It was a disgrace.

If thats comedy in England, then I'm glad to be an American.

Shoot I missed this part. What happened? I missed about 10 minutes last night.

Re: The British guy with taped mouth - did he cash?
 

Didn't miss anything. The Englishman thought he was funny being obnoxious and lound. Instead he was making a fool of himself. I felt embarassed for him and I was just watching..

Re: The British guy with taped mouth - did he cash?
 

He's disrespecting the game!

Uh, yeah, all the best English comedians are poker players. And of course there are no obnoxious american players.

Re: The British guy with taped mouth - did he cash?
 

Well his comment about american movies were dick... seeing as how the funniest british movie in years had tons of cussing in it.... Shaun of the Dead anyone?

but yeah, an annoying player is an annoying player, I dont care from where.

Re: The British guy with taped mouth - did he cash?
 

I'm pretty sure he was European, but not British. I think he was from Sweden, FInland, or the like. I could be wrong..

Re: The British guy with taped mouth - did he cash?
 

He's funny in small doses, if that's your thing. When he's jumping and screaming all the time, he quickly becomes annoying.

Also, if you were anywhere near him, I heard he had god-awful BO; apparently hadn't showered or bathed in several days, and wouldn't change out of his "lucky" clothes.

I would rather he act politely and smell reasonable, rather than provide a show.

I would have guessed this based on his appearance.

I am not even kidding, I have seen homeless people that have looked cleaner than him.

Re: The British guy with taped mouth - did he cash?
 

This wouldn't of happened if the mob still ran Vegas. You think he would have been such a jackass then? Where is Spilotro when you need him.

Re: The British guy with taped mouth - did he cash?
 

I think what this guy did goes beyond a show. He should have gotten a sponsor, because he knows these types of antics are the first thing ESPN tapes and broadcasts.

Re: The British guy with taped mouth - did he cash?
 

For the record, table talk/coffehousing is considered very bad ettiquite here in the UK. If he did it here someone would have took him aside for a word or two.

TV has created the stage where upon you must put on your show to get some air time. Poker is hardly the gentlemans game it used to be.

Sounds like he'd have been a decent candidate for the Degree all in moment, what with the BO and all.

Here's what the bio on that link says:

<font color="green"> At the 2005 WSOP main event Barry's antics were a source of annoyance to some, amusement for others. His extremely vocal reactions to his successes as he desperately tried to hang in with a short stack to the money drew crowds. His lucky England shirt, which he was eventually forced to remove, meant the players at his table weren't quite so keen to get close.

In the end, Barry didn't quite make the money, despite taping up his mouth in an attempt to avoid further time penalties for swearing. </font>

What's a Degree all in moment? Some sort of deodorant advertising campaign in the States? Honestly, no idea, I could see that fitting though.

Re: The British guy with taped mouth - did he cash?
 

he smelled so bad he had to change his shirt??!?!?


Wow.
What a jack-ass (not that I didn't think this already).


Seriously: if they can decide to have a 10-minute f-bomb penalty then can't they have other rules about general conduct?
Yes, it would be subjective.
But that's how it is in every sport.

If I go to the B&amp;M and start standing on the chair and hooting and hollering the floor will simply toss me out.


Give warnings and then penalties for inappropriate behavior.

The floor and management doesn't just have to sit there and let him get away with it as if there is nothing they can do about it.

Just like my feelings with Tiffany Williamson and her delays....I only PARTLY blame the player for this situation.

The floor should know AHEAD of time that there will be idiots there who conduct themselves like idiots.
They should be prepared to take a stand.

Instead, it almost seems like their rules are "don't throw your cards at the dealer. don't drop the f-bomb. other than that....Enjoy your Anarchy!!"

Re: The British guy with taped mouth - did he cash?
 

Bob you make a real good point. That jerk was about five tables way from me during the last portion of day 3. It was horrible to see the ESPN camera's go running over to him every time he opened his mouth. 'Stosh

The big highlight was not on TV, but I was standing about 8 feet away from Barry when it happened:

He was very short-stacked and moved all-in with A-K. Before he even got a caller, he was getting very excited, yelling for someone to call him (yelling in excitement, not in anger). When someone did, showing Q-J, Barry started yelling, "Come on baby! Come on baby!" as he prayed for his cards to hit.

When the flop showed K-9-x, he let out a huge cheer. But, now his opponent needed a 10 for a straight. Thus, the opponent said, "I need a ten."

Upon hearing this, Barry hollered, "F--- the ten! F--- the ten!"

Fortunately for him, the 10 never came, and the short-stack won. Unfortunately, there were three WSOP officials standing right there and he was assessed a TWENTY minute penalty before the hand even ended because he used the f-bomb twice.

After he was penalized, Barry appealed to the officials, saying that he should only be penalized for ten minutes because he used the word twice in one sentence. Additionally, he felt that he should be given a break because it was not on live television (it wasn't on taped television, either). The officials would not give him any concessions.

Making a last ditch effort to get his sentence reduced, he pleaded, "I'm a gentleman. I apologized for it. I came all the way across the Atlantic to play in this wonderful tournament and now I'm going to get blinded off."

His begging didn't work, and he went out into the hallway to serve his term.

And I must confirm what Fossilman heard - the dude smelled like hell.
