Did you notice \"The Sheik\" on the Raymer knock out hand?
 

On the hand that Raymer got knocked out on in the WSOP, "The Sheik" clapped for a few seconds and then turned to the audience, cupped his fingers and started moving his hand up and down in a sexually suggestive manner. I also think he was poking his tongue into the inside of his cheek as he did this. Sort of seemed like he was making the gesture on purpose regarding the prolonged clapping after Raymer got eliminated.

If you did not notice this watch him in the background during the applause of that hand.

Yeah I just watched it, what a dick move. He claps for Tiffany but jerks off at Raymer? wtf!!!

Also, he couldn't even keep up with Mike even a little bit during their duel. He sux.

What do you expect from a guy who's so miserable he makes people cheer for Matusow.

I am surprised this gesture did not get edited out.

DUDE! I just noticed it too. I can't stand that [censored]! I never thought after last year's WSOP that I would cheer for Mike Matusow, and actually hate someone else at the table more than him!

This dude is a total a.ss. Imagine if he had won the whole thing, he would set poker back 10 years.

After looking at the tape again, I think he may have been referencing Mike Matusow, as oppossed to Raymer's exit. If you notice, he claps which shows appreciation for Raymer, but his obvious duel with Matusow and his resulting obvious tilt leads me to believe he took the opportunity during the crowd's applause to look at his buddy and gesture to him the way he feels about Matusow in general, or the way that matusow was standing and cheering for Raymer.

I think it has no reference whatsoever to Raymer.

This is correct. I'm not saying the Sheik is a great guy...but he was calling Mike a jerk-off, not Greg.

Either way, his timing was horrible and shows a general lack of disrepect. I still can't believe this guy is 35.

Seemed to me like he was implying that the crowd was (figuratively of course) fellating Raymer.

That is exactly what I think. The tongue in cheek addtion to the gesture made it a clear fellatio reference not a "jerk-off" gesture/reference.

This was clearly a gesture made with Raymer's knock out in mind and not the altercation with Mike M.

When Mike flippped up his ace high flush and yelled "NUTS" to knock him out, i smiled.

Exactly what I thought.

Maybe some of it was edited out...but how hard is it to drop a line in there about his jail-time or his general-uglyness or his "I never win a coin-flip" whining and whining.

I mean...I'm not exactly the fastest quip in the world (especially when it comes to 'heads-up' play in a situation like that) but Mike would say something and the sheik had ZERO in the way of comebacks much of the time.



Personally, if I was sitting there and Mike was ripping on my play and my short-stack I would say "yup. I'm really not that good at this stupid game. And they call me 'short-stack-bob' for a reason."
Then I'd eventually move on to what a jack-ass Mike is.

"You're right mike. You clearly deserve to win every hand."

"Do you ever stop shaking dude? Are you still on the blow? Seriously...stop jittering all over the place like an ADD-child."

"Haven't won a coin-flip in 2 years?? You're such a classy guy I just can't imagine why you wouldn't have better karma."

Re: Did you notice \"The Sheik\" on the Raymer knock out hand?
 

I'd start razzing him about his stapler, and burning down the building, until he either figured it out or had to have someone tell him that he does bear a certain likeness to Stephen Root in Office Space. I'd give him bonus points if he immediately got the reference.

Either that or I'd be so nervous most of my energies would be focused on not soiling my pants.

Probably that second thing.

I'm not good at that stuff either but man I'd eat both of them alive in minutes. It would be the biggest verbal bloodbath in WSOP history.

I noticed that I did that well after it could be edited. I was playing too many tables, I guess.

Thanks for pointing it out, though. I'm sure you had no idea what I meant. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Did you notice \"The Sheik\" on the Raymer knock out hand?
 

Remember, Mike is dealing with an idiot here. If you two stepped up Mike would eat you alive verbally then take all your money.

And the proper response to "Haven't won a coinflip in two years" is "Well yeah, its hard to do that when you've spent most that time in jail" Or the ever popular relating what he said to dropping the soap.

Re: Did you notice \"The Sheik\" on the Raymer knock out hand?
 

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I just watched a rerun of this episode and the cut out the gesture made by the sheik.

Perfect quote. I kept saying that they did a great editing job to make this guy look worse than the Mouth, but I'm now guessing that it didn't take much. What an a$$.

Wow. Very nice. I missed this thread the first time around and had not seen this.

Re: Did you notice \"The Sheik\" on the Raymer knock out hand?
 

My Tivo got a repeat of the episode and I couldn't find the gesture. The original was still on my Tivo and I was able to find it there.

They must have overlooked it for the first airing.

"One of the two deaths attributed to the storm was the result of an auto accident just after 11 a.m., when a car hydroplaned in the northwest part of the valley.

A Mercedes, driven by Las Vegan Shahram Sheikhan, 29, was traveling at speeds too fast for the slick road conditions on Buffalo Drive just north of Charleston Boulevard, Metro Police said.

The Mercedes slid across the raised center median of southbound Buffalo and struck a Lincoln traveling in the northbound lanes, police said.

The female passenger, 91-year-old Dorathy Ohriner of Las Vegas, died at the scene, the Clark County Coroner's office said today."
