The British guy with taped mouth - did he cash?

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

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

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.

Yeah, you steak-and-kidney-pie eaters, take your irreverent humor back to your island with you and leave us to our "Jackass."

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

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..

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.

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

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.

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