EPT Monte Carlo: WSOP CHAMP threatened opponent

Posted on 26 April 2010 by "T".

The 2004 WSOP Champ Greg Raymer is one of the players who made it to Day 2 in the Main Event of EPT Monte Carlo yesterday. Even though he was doing very well the whole day, he still got so annoyed and frustrated at one point that he threatened to punch another player at the table.

This is what happened... (Fossilman's own words).

"A player from Ukraine was teasing me all the time and he was telling me that I'm a really bad player etc. I told him to stop, but still he continued. I doubled up through him a bit later on, then he started getting even more annoying. This made me so angry that I said I would hit him if he didn't stop"

Fossilman was punished by the EPT crew and had to leave the table for a few rounds. One has to keep in mind that Fossiman is known to be one of the most calm and relaxed players in live tournaments. And according to himself, this is the first time something like this happens in his entire poker career (around 18 years).

"I apologized to him later on and he said he was sorry for what he did. This kind of stuff happens once in a while in bigger live tournaments. Its not a big deal"

Greg Raymer is so cool, why would anybody want to tease him? Stupid Ukrainian!

Is because of that i like to play live tournaments with mp3. Most of the time I'm not listening any music but, at least, people don't know and they don't talk to me Big Smile

If somebody was abusing me verbally at the table repeatedly and he doesn't stop, I would probably ask to stop the clock and step outside with this guy.
Really!
NOBODY deserves to get abused at a poker table or anywhere else.
We're all adults....most of us....kinda.... Big Smile

Did none of the managers notice that he was being flamed?
Fossilman should have just laid one on him, 18 years of built up frustration unleahsed in one big swing.
He even apologized, much bigger man than me.

if he would have swung at him i bet his body would still be wobbling from the movement ...

I dont get it, they punished Greg for saying those words, but when the other player teased him WhyTheFuck he didnt called it a clock and let the EPT Crew take that stupid Ukrainian away for few rounds??? If player repeadetely annois you, then you can send him away from table atleast for 10 minutes, every live player knows it.

i'm totaly on the side of greg this time if the guy was so annoying i will say to stop and say something like that and i think that is not a big deal when you compare to phil hellmuth come on
 magatt96627/04/2010 10:00:12 GMT
I think it should be allowed to beat your opponents and give them a bad beat when they deserve it: it is very important to stay in correct position when you do it not to be trapped
