Calling out the straight flush and folding a Boat at the WSOP is the sign of a true poker player. Hope he takes one down some day.
He should have been given 10 Million chips just for that read
one of the greatest fold
At least 7 or 8 hands other than the straight flush beat him there tho
@@justinh1567 He couldnt have played any of these hands on that way
@@user-vh8oo5iq8s q10 maybe j10 he could have. And obviously the 89 clubs as he correctly said
Hands down, Obst folding 77 there is so sick. Like probably one of the sickest lay downs I think I’ve seen to date.
Doug Polk does not approve this fold
@@M00NDANCEMIKE "What's up guys! Doug Polk here and today on Poker Hands, we're gonna take a look at a hand between James Obst and Michel Ruane in the 2016 WSOP Main Event. Our Hand starts off with......."
It's a huge fold and at such a cheap price for that pot size. But what could that guy possibly have going all in at that spot? Theres no way ever that's a bluff. You got to know you're beat.
@@HitokiriShaggyTTV No doubt man, you absolutely know you're beat. The problem may be that I'm used to a bunch of donks in California, that a fold like that, regardless of price is surprising hahaha
he was beat by too many hands to call off his tourney life. good fold for sure but not amazing considering the circumstances.
Of course she says she was going to 90% call after she folds 😂😂😂💀
Erik Matuson/Matusow? What a coincidence
@@totalba69 huh
James T idk honestly. I think I was drunk when I wrote that
She also folded AA to Kassouf earlier in the day and was correct. She's a nit, never going broke with 1 pair
so I´d say his table talk worked then
Probably a top 3 fold I’ve ever seen with the 7s full of 10s for Obst... that was crazy
Great poker instincts in that kid...he was probably thinking it could also be J’s or Q’s along with the straight flush...I think his opponent pushed in a little quick for my liking..it smelled fishy and he looked way to comfortable...he shoulda waited for at least 2 minutes to make it appear bluffy imo
Nice fold 77 because not beat another hand,no hands howing beat with 77
Benger, the only man in the field that would make me root for Kassouf.........
Really. Check your privilege? What is he a public school history teacher?
@@djblock215 you clearly misread my comment. They're both assholes. I was simply saying Benger was a bigger asshole than Kassouf. Side note, you can kiss "privileges' ass.........
I like Kassouf,i mean he might be annoying at times but damn is that man entertaining
@@patrickclark7714 You misread his comment. He was agreeing with you
Watching this just now. I know I'm late. I don't understand what the guy talking a lot did wrong? I feel like the floor was super unfair to him the first time. & The 2nd time the table was mad rude to him also. He did everything legal. He didn't curse at anyone or disrespect anyone. He's in the right to talk all he wants when it's heads-up. At the end of the day it's on the opponent to block all the noise out & make a choice. Or am I bugging? I wanted a King to come out so bad to shut that other introverted cry baby up so badly
Saying “check your privilege” to Kassouf always confused me
Still dont know what he meant by that
He's an NPC - I doubt he even knew what he meant
@@sanderk9289 what benger was trying to say was " im a dumbass"
That has to be one of the cringiest moments in poker history.
No privilege ever. Weak ass comment
Hearing "check your privilege" in a poker video is like a fart at a funeral
"You're being abusive to me" You're a bully.
How can a grown man say that to other grown man. Benger is the worst.
@@normanno8514 Based on the context it's very unlikely. He seemed genuinely bothered.
He celebrated in the end like he was the dog,like man you were a 4 to 1 favourite just shut up and take the win.
@@handayashasv2224 It was a massive pot late in the tournament
@@tpac83 i agree with that but that aggression wasn't even for the pot it was just personal.I'm not someone who can judge the situation when not there obviously but i think if he really was the 'better' man he would've just been cool and composed.

Great fold by obst
I still don't understand how he doesn't push river there w/ 75% behind and a boat. It's insane.
Ryan Thurston yeah the right play was definitely to jam so that you don't put yourself in this spot. Realistically Obst is literally losing to one combination in that spot and it's 89 of clubs which is why it's such a sicko fold.
Ryan Thurston the reason why Ruane can only have 89 of clubs is he's never jamming a hand like the nut flush over Obsts river bet given the fact that his range consists of boats and maybe a few bluffs. Also Ruane doesn't have any better full houses in his range so it's literally 89 of clubs or nothing.
Obst had the worst boat and as a little bonus there was a straight flush out there too. Unlikely the other guy had a 10 in his range unless Q10 or J10 maybe. Not likely at all tho. So for the other guy to ship into Obst he has to have him beat
Jacob Walden I agree with what you're saying but the reason why it's a sicko fold is because the only thing that Ruane should be able to have here to ship it with is specifically 89 of clubs. He never has Tens full of anything that's just silly to even consider, and never has Queens or jacks full. On top of all this, Obst bet the river to get called by the nut flush that would definitely check back the river given the fact that Obst doesn't really have anything but a set of sevens or maybe QJ when he 3 bets the flop and check calls turn. Obst knows that there is zero chance the nut flush would jam because of this so it's down to 89 of clubs or some kind of goofball bluff. When your losing to one specific hand it's always hard to get away.
“He’s still miserable i’m happy”
Benger is projecting
Absolutely correct
They both were
@@jeromelawler902 This! But it made for an intriguing poker hand to witness on TV.
Totally weird comment by Benger as he is obviously irritated and Will is being (the Will version of) jovial.
As for the "check your privilege" comment, that's just bonkers. What privilege is he referring to exactly?
Will got under a lot of people skins and they stretched the rules to suit themselves... I’d rather have to this than 10 hoods round a table Bri g as lifeless as possible....
What an amazing fold with the full house I couldn't fold that.. That should have been #1
romanelo was good too
i probably couldnt either, but Obst is really good, and they were playing for millions. he was beat by way too many hands there to call off his tourney life.
Probably the hardest decision of his life
I feel like the fold was awful as was the quarter pot lead.
By no means am I saying I'm good enough to fold that hand in that spot. But they have the ability to assess the hand without emotion . Pocket 7s was a bluff xatcher there and thats it , never shoving over the bet with anything but a bigger full house. And his quarter pot lead was excellent cause he sets his own price . If he checks he risks having to call a larger bet with less info
i love to see helmuth against kassouf heads up
Yep, or Negreanu or Matusow. Someone with either a big talking game or is prone to snapping
think he did play vs them on some live at the bike streams
Sam Farha against kassouf would end in a war 😂😂
That would be so uncomfortable lol.
Selbst v Kassouf 🤣
Never hated a poker player until Benger made it personal .. Even commentator knows it's a speech play and Kassouf just fishing for any information. He is soft and sensitive lol
The girl is a loser in here she actually should of been called time many times for her nonsense
I like to think Benger was trying to guarantee an all-in by playing mind games of his own.
“Check your privilege”. What a fuckin dipshit
He was feigning annoyance to make sure Kassouf would shove, even though he had KK he's probably doing that with JJ or 1010 as well
I despise that guy. Makes me sick
Fun seeing these clips again years later. I haven't watched the highlights of every main event but from what I've seen this was the most entertaining WSOP Main Event by far, at least in the past decade.
2010 for me was just on another level. Duhamel seemingly summoning something all the way to the top and the cool factor with that hood over his head, Joseph Cheong’s fearless aggression going all in like it’s nothing every other hand, and so much more.
Benger is a delicate little flower, but that doesn't make Kassouf any less of a douche.
I don't think Benger was that bad at all. Yes he said something that seems to have set off the wannabe real men in this thread, but then the adrenaline o being in a multimillion dollar tournament might make him say and act out of character. I know when wound up by wankers I may have said some things I may have regretted if they weren't wankers. Anyone would be a liar if they said they didn't make mistakes in anxious situations.
@@shakesfirst2443 He just seemed a lot more cool and composed when he was sitting there in silence while Kassouf was making an ass of himself.
He wasn't being a douche at all. Opponents and officials were abusive.
I think Will Kassouf is entertaining. I'd love to watch him, Tony G, Mike Matusow, and Phil Helmuth go at it, ultimately ending with Helmuth having an aneurysm.
@@msgtblbj kassouf is ridiculous. Like other player said, this hand is a hand to finish fast. But this sucker like this show, for nothing. Nobody will fold kings. Don't call him like Phil hellmuth, mike mattusow...
Did Griffin Benger, a millionaire who makes his income by playing games and has done so his whole adult life really tell a person to “check their privilege?”
Amazing! What a beta!
@Joey Dunlop that has nothing to do with the original question asked.
@Joey Dunlop lol the irony.
Still don't know what that even means in that moment. His privilege to say words?
In one of most toxic games communities as the cs 1.6 one.
Wil Kassouf bantering everyone is always great to watch!!
love it. and when heads up in a pot it is all fair play! speech play is a great part of poker of which there isnt enough of anymore! everyone with the sunglasses and stare downs and completely silent. That's no fun playing a bunch of silent robots. Love some personality in the game
maybe ppl from the uk like stuff like that but to me it's unwatchable
@@wesleyb1458 People weren't that upset with what he said, well, except that he kept repeating the same thing over and over again. Did you watch the tournament? Kassouf was incredibly boooooring. Tanking every hand for ages. Slowed action down and just saying the same things over and over.
Joker Levin yes watched it. The banter was class m8
King Sally American here and I love the table chatter
9 high like a boss!!!!
You can say what you want about him, but Will Kassouf for sure added some excitement to today's motionless and robotic poker world...
Benger is one of those cringeworthy people where youve got to take a minute to finish the rest of the video.
Will haunt me forever that clip
“Whatever happens he’s coolered” pretending he wasn’t bothered by a king when he’d probably rather sell his firstborn than see a king. Hated that guy after this
@@mjriemen bro deadass 😂 i was like this kassouf dude kinda annoying til benger went on a bitch fit about “abuse” its a poker table get over it lol
Benger a wetty, are all Canadians like this?
Nope I’m Canadian and Benger is annoying af
Can you guys please explain to me what Benger did wrong? That a Kassouf guy is so annoying and he was legitimately getting on my nerves.
Norm: “we can see his whole cards, they can’t!”
Lon: “ooooohhh.”
Lol, I love those two guys😂👌
Ruane would make such a great Joker.
I’ve always been team Kassouf. Nothing wrong with talking to his opponents. “Check your privilege” hated Benger when I saw this live and hate him more today. $3 headphones, easy problem solvers
I get what you are saying, but the dude stalls every hand all day everyday. If you are trying 'speechplay' for 5 minutes and don't get a response, you should probably give up.
Mr. Rick I will agree on the stalling. I know that would be very upsetting if I was at the table. But also, if it was a normal situation I would give him maybe 1 minute to act but for all in situations I would be more lenient with calling a clock. All depends on how long I was dealing with it at a table and how often he had been doing it.
I don't know for sure, but my guess is headphones likely aren't allowed on televised featured tables. Not a good look for TV. There's essentially a whole different set of "rules" that are followed for TV tables, including showing of hole cards.
You still " team Kassouf " even after he stole chips from his mate?
Sean Brown sorry must be out of the loop. Can you elaborate?
#3 that woman clearly can't handle the pressure. So many busted draws and single pair hands there make that an easy call
is cliff josephy related to jeffery epstein?
Long lost brother
Ive never seen them in the same room
Props to obst. HUGE laydown
I love how Kassouf got so into Benger’s head, absolute class
And yet, Benger got into his head and Kassouf moved in when he kind of knew he was beat.
@@26bisket Cause he went all in. LOL!
26bisket That’s not what happened
26bisket In some things, maybe. Here, you are just wrong.
@@andrewptob bruh.. its AA vs KK 35BB effective theres nothing he can do.. its just unfortunate but thats the way it be sometimes
I get where Benger is coming from, Kassouf's talk (EDIT: And tanking, forgot to include that, thanks reply section,) will get very annoying after a while, but Christ, just get headphones, or politely ask him to be quiet while you make a decision, do something else other than tell him to "check your privilege".
1. I don't know for sure, but I would guess that featured table players that are on TV likely aren't allowed to wear headphones. It slows down the game and is bad for TV when a guy is jamming out to Coldplay and not following the action.
2. I don't think politely asking Kassouf to do anything will actually get him to stop doing it.
3. They've been playing together for hours at this point. It wouldn't be the first time somebody asking him to stop.
A lot of it had to do with how long he was taking. He tanked for minutes every hand.
The "check your privilege" was definitely a weird thing to say. I guess it was because he was rattled. But a lot of people seem to think it was Kassoufs talking that people were frustrated about and it wasn't. It was his tanking. There are worse people in the WSOP than Will Kassouf when it comes to "speech play" but they move faster. Kassouf were taking ages for standard spots.

Wow what a fold by Obst. That was absolutely insane. I would’ve gone broke.
lol its an easy lay down what can he beat ?
@@nicolasnicaise8722 a nut flush? Two pair? A Straight? Trips? A complete bluff?
Terrible runout for 777 the only hand he beats if he calls is a flush every other card combo beats him qq jj q10 j10 1010 its not a crazy laydown in fact its a suspect river bet only getting called or raised if youre beat
@@estevez4832 if you play poker at all its super obvious ruane isnt raising with qj or what else is there? This isnt 3/6 at your local brick and mortar this deep these players arent complete morons. The only reasonable hand that obst beats that might shove would be ace high flush but players shoving flushes on boards like that dont last this long even jamie gold isnt doing that. And just on the off chance this could be possible its real hard to miss ruanes complete 180 body language wise. He obviously had a huge hand you could be blind youd still feel the heat from the top of his head you can hear it in his voice i bet if you sat still you could feel his damned pulse lol ruane bets 3mil into 13mil pot obviously building the pot obviously planning to smash all in on river that bet specifically says DO NOT FOLD PLEASE and obst im assuming his river bet was defensive im sure he realized when the 3mil bet came on the turn ruane had a monster
@@estevez4832 hahahahahha
"he still miserable i'm happy"

Benger really should’ve just stayed quiet. Kassouf was making himself look like such an ass that I was genuinely happy for Benger to have Kassouf coolered. But once he started talking I was hoping to see a king on the flop
honestly think it was just a genius reverse bluff. freaking out made it seem like he was uncomfortable with playing the hand versus kassouf when in reality hes holding the knives behind his back
@@jonsockafella5778 how can it be a genius reverse bluff when the guy had KK.

That Lay down will go down in history...!!!! What a Read..!!!!! 👍🏽
Laying down a full house because you think someone has a straight flush is actually ridiculous
Or bigger boat
Is
That's Kassouf for Ya. He talks non - stop for information and then gets blasted. It happens all the time.
INCREDIBLE
Wow! Folded a full house; incredible lay down!
Kassouf’s personality is very common in UK card rooms, maybe 75% of the time you’ll come across one.
Yeah that’s why it’s common in the UK. Classless people like that in the US would be dealt with.
"He's not your daddy, he's not gonna help you"
Crazy that John Cynn came that far, and won the WSOP in 2018.
Broooo that 7s full fold was insaaaanee!! 🤯
Players like Kassouf make watching the game interesting. Nobody wants to see a bunch of GTO robots playing each other hour after hour.
some people prefer to focus on the poker not who can speak the most nonsense
hessunator absolutely. The math nerds/solvers have increased the skill level in the game tremendously. And, at the same time, absolutely dropped the money in the game by making poker virtually unwatchable for the casual fan. Need many more Kassouf-type players.
@@michaelcatt1915 I mean... I don't know many people who actually play poker, even recreational, who think listening to Kassouf spend 5 minutes talking to opponents who don't talk back to him "entertaining".
Like it may be fun for the "fair weather" poker watcher who checks the WSOP on TV whenever its on, but no actual poker player thinks that's entertaining. Its just a guy running his mouth trying to get info because he has no idea where he's at in the hand, doesn't know what his opponent has, and is extremely nervous in those spots.
Aaron Myers I get that. But like I said, the poker boom was when the casual player would watch. When the game has personalities. No one wants to watch a final table full of German bots playing GTO in silence. So even if he annoys you, Kassouf beats the hell out of that faction in terms of viewers. You underestimate people watching those they love to hate.
@@aaronmyers3330 The thing about Kassouf isn't his speech. Many people use speech play. Some are more abusive (Hellmuth, Matusow and that guy Sheikan) and others are more friendly (Negreanu, Siever). What got to people was his tanking and it was absurd amounts of tanking every friggin hand.
8:03 Josephy blows much needed kiss to Vayo
20:00 greatest fold of all time
The poker table is the only place Kassouf can get anyone to listen to him, cause they can’t leave.

Nice reverse speech play by Benger. He started as soon as the clock got called.
Yep , he was just about out of it and he opened his mouth . It would of been over with if he didnt say shit cause Kassouf had the clock called on him . Like Will said , he got under his skin . I would of loved to see what Kassouf would of done if the king came down . I think Benger would of been almost in tears , he got too emotional like a chick .

Jack Effel was more out of line than Kassouf there. He's the worst tournament director the WSOP has ever had. His whole attitude is "either accept my bullshit ruling or I'll give you more round penalties". If Matuson had asked him to be quiet so she could think and he kept going I could understand it but there's nothing wrong with talking at the poker table. In fact it's something that poker is lacking these days. Also if Matuson was 80-90% calling before Kassouf started talking - which I don't believe - and his table talk persuaded her to fold, then that's a huge problem with her game and a great move by Kassouf.
Obst fold is just insane
go on James absolute legend
I prayed for a king on the flop to check Berger’s privilege
Lol
28 minutes very nice :D
That's what she said.

Kassouf is even worse. His patter is so embarrassing.
27:07 “send this little.......home” 😂🤣
Wow wow wow James Obst, fold of the century
Notice how Benger needs the support while Kassouf plays it cool, even though he’s facing the elimination. What a snowflake.
Plays it cool? You can't read people can you? He was blustering knowing full well he was very likely out of the tournament at the end of the hand. It wasn't cool, it was bullshit and bluff. Cool would have been to shut up let the hand play and not act like he knew the king was coming instead of carrying on like a privileged asshole. You want to know about privilege? Kassouf stole one of his mates chips at a casino and was banned and lost sponsors because of that. Instead of asking his mate for a loan, he stole from him. He stole from a friend, if that isn't assuming privilege and entitlement, then not much else is.
@@Alec____ You mean you found the person that uses fact intelligence and compassion in their day to day life, then sure call me a liberal. Better that than being an ignorant bigoted conservative.

19:45 WoW what a BEAST
Stacy Maddison. If you were gonna call 100%. You would of. Buy you didn’t. How can you not call with a huge overpair
I feel like Vayo was pot committed at that point. Folding was a shock there
The point is he flopped top pair and the board kept getting uglier for premium hands. So calling twice and then folding is the worst possible play.
He was fumbling a lot on the final round
I love Kassouf
Is the weasel in the camo top in the third hand the same as the greasy dude in the last hand with KK? Both of then seemed like deuche bags, but they both had the same ferrety oily look so wondered if they were the same, or closely related?
That Obst fold is the best lay down and read in the history of poker. I have no idea how he folded there.
not really. He had the lowest full house. Ruane could have had 10 J, pocket JJ's or QQ's. Romanello has the sickest laydown in the history of WSOP.
It was a great fold, but he was also beaten 10 different ways to Sunday. Could I have made that fold in that spot? I’m leaning towards no…but then again I’ve not been in that spot.
Obst's fold easily one of the best, if not THE best in the history of the main event..
@@26bisket standard fold 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kassouf and Benger hand has got to be the best hand to watch hands down.

It a pretty easy fold you not reraising on the river with just a flush(on a paired board)...So either has a full house a st8 flush or wildly bluffing...

Yeah! Annoying wank3r
I mean, he still won a ton of money out of that behaviour 😅
Kassouf is one of my favorite player his a character.
That guy is a piece of… work
Whatever he makes poker exciting. Every game or sport needs a villain. All these other players are so sensitive.
Nine high like a boss 😂😂
That 77s full lay down might be the greatest lay down of all time.
I love the fact that Kassoufs bluff worked. I love table talk. Anyone that thinks that he should have been penalized has never played poker.
Love these vids, all of them though I've seen them all. Still can't believe Josephy's call with set of deuces. There's literally not a single hand he beats except a crazy bluff which *especially Vayo* wouldn't make at the WSOP ME ft. Oh boy.
Nine high... Like a boss...
Obst laying down bottom boat but a boat in that spot was insane and obv well sniffed out. Greatest fold ever imho given the spot and specific read. 3 bet flop into 3 others, call 4 bet to small
Obst folding his full house was just so big brain. Wow.
That's a move that takes a lot of stones to do. I'm not sure how many other pros lay that down in that situation.
That's the only hand he can possibly have there though when you think about it. His hand looked like a flush draw on the flop and he's not moving in on the river with anything but 89 of clubs because Obst's hand looks like a boat because it would be a horrible line for a bluff.
Ruane doesn't have any bigger boats in his range either so Obst is only losing to one combination here which is why it's such a sick fold.
@@mrx7181 I'm not denying Obst made a good read there, I'm just wondering how many other pros in that situation would be able to lay down the boat.
@@mrx7181 Or, he's putting Obst on a bigger flush on the turn, and disguising his hand as a bluff.
Remember, there's basically only one "boat" in Obst range, which is 77. He's never flatting one raise preflop with QQ or JJ (both prime 3-betting hands), especially in late position. So either Obst has exactly 77, or he doesn't have a boat at all.
In which case if Ruane knows Obst either has exactly 77 or a flush, Obst hand kind of doesn't matter. He can pretty easily bluff both of those hands off, because Obst won't think he can.
One HUGE thing about these videos is you need to put them in order from first to last in the video, seeing the heads up one first lets us know every hand after involving them they win.. takes a lot of the "what's going to happen" out of most the video 😔
This is a Top 5 of the most epic hands of that specific year's Main Event - we couldn't put that hand at No. 1 because the Benger-Kassouf hand was far more epic ;)
20:00 that’s unbelievable
I really should find a way to play this year's tournament. I'm 39 this year and a lot of 39 year olds have won it
Gotta be able to take some table talk and be able to make a decision Matuson can’t blame that shit fold on anyone but herself
Thank you
I don't think Benger was insulted at all. I think he purposefully reacted the way Kassouf wanted him to react. Kassouf was a good enough player that he could've laid down the KK and personally, I think Kassouf was going to fold. And I think Benger knew that. So to ensure Kassouf stayed in the hand he had to act like he was melting down from Kassouf's talk. Because from Kassouf's point of view, if Benger looses his mind then that means he didn't feel safe with his hand. If Benger felt safe he would've kept his cool. With all that in mind, I think Benger melting down was an act to get Kassouf to shove all in.
Benger aint that good, he was actually upset
Then Benger should be in Hollywood thats a top acting play. IMO, it really got to Benger, it got under his skin and he melted. "Verbal abuse", "Check your priviledge".....Benger, says, "Whatever happens, his miserable and I'm happy"...lol Notice Benger voice shakey..... Would've been something, if Benger lost the hand.
Benger’s emotions after the cards were turned over show he was genuinely upset
The fact you're even suggesting to fold KK pre shows you have absolutely no business discussing NLHE tournament play. Do you know how exploitable that is?
Watching this just now. I know I'm late. I don't understand what the guy talking a lot did wrong? I feel like the floor was super unfair to him the first time. & The 2nd time the table was mad rude to him also. He did everything legal. He didn't curse at anyone or disrespect anyone. He's in the right to talk all he wants when it's heads-up. At the end of the day it's on the opponent to block all the noise out & make a choice. Or am I bugging? I wanted a King to come out so bad to shut that other introverted cry baby up so badly
"check your privilege" is the most Canadian thing to say ever
“I knew I was beat, he has to have it (but I still called off my stack)”
i dont get why kassouf was so hated. speech play is such an important part of poker when u are heads up in a hand. even the opponent does get info from all that talking
speech play is important when you're getting information, this is just plain stupid. he is not getting any info from Benger, he is there for some TV time
@@kraljina123 but he did get under his skin. benger can just stay quiet and eventually kassouf would stop but the opposite happened benger got aggressive as well. they both could have handled it better
Omar Javed I don’t think he was ever going to stop, he was really annoying, but I fully believe he would’ve stopped if someone asked him too
Omar Javed It was 5min torture. Everybody would flip out. Stupid hand and stupid play to make such a big noise about that hand. When you are getting no information it is useless imo
Omar Javed He hadn’t stopped all tournament lol wasn’t about to stop there
So Matuson admitted that she was going to call but kassouf's table talk actually persuaded her to fold. U can say what u want about him but a lot of the time his talking works
Yeah, I was confused about the complaint. I thought talking and influencing hands was an integral part of poker

How many times have you said this comment on this video !! 8 times?
"My Life is Good " 😂
#2 is a masterclass on betting
Vayo is such a nit
Folding the house was the play of the year but I love kassouf losing as well 😂
Credit to Obst for giving Ruane credit as the best actor of all time and reading the hand correctly thus the great lay down.
8:58 I knew he had me crushed, so I put all my chips in lol
How in the name of God to have that kind of awarness and self control to fold a full house putting your opponent on a straight flush ?!!!
Didn't like Kassouf until Benger.
funny to see Real Life Jimmy Neutron and Benger asian cheerleader negating a handshake @28:17 What a class!
What else would be number 1?
Check your privilege bro
