Whoa, what a switch up.
You know what I mean?
So I do think, and also like, I do think that the WSOP, I don't, I think that they need to be taking from like a business perspective, a player first mindset.
And unfortunately that does include Kasuf.
You know what I mean?
And so we're fortunate.
Depending on who you ask.
But I think like the reason why I'm saying this is because I think if they would have just said something on like Twitter or they had pulled him aside before the match and said, hey, just letting you know, like we had a meeting last night and we're going no bullshit today.
Like seriously, not a single word.
I think the whole situation changes.
But when you kind of like surprise and there's a lot of like ambiguity to the rules, I think that this is where he actually has a bit of a point there, you know, which is not something that the WSOP I think would want.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the thing is, is to like the even the tournament director rules are a little bit ambiguous when it comes to like disrupting the game or like game flow and how how the etiquette rules can be enforced.
So I do think that like there is space for like the influencers in the industry think like Matt Savage, right, to take control of that, like
narrative and like change it.
You know what I mean?
I did.
I truly think that like, especially when your opponent, I think there was an example that I saw circulating where long story short, he had gotten to the river and he had rivered the nut straight, but the board had paired as well.
And his opponent bet two X pot on the river.
