Americans don\u2019t seem to like\u00a0William Kassouf<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s loud, obnoxious, and boorish. He\u2019s everything bad that people in the rest of the world have been saying about American tourists for decades and now\u2019s their chance to pin it on someone else.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s about a lot more than that.<\/p>\n

Many ESPN<\/strong>-watching Americans may have found his vaunted speech play<\/a> somewhat entertaining and certainly interesting during the broadcast of the 2016 World Series of Poker Main Event<\/strong>. However, they caught only snippets of it. The highlight reel. Anyone playing with him in the tournament, or for that matter, anyone at the Rio Convention Center<\/strong> in Las Vegas, Nevada<\/strong> throughout the event, was witness to the whole grindingly slow, mind-numbingly repetitive, and insanely annoying Kassouf show.<\/p>\n

\u2018Nobody likes you, everybody hates you\u2019<\/span><\/h2>\n

As many viewers might remember, things got so bad that the normally very composed and always cool poker legend Cliff Josephy<\/strong> sank as low as singing his own version of the nobody likes you-everybody hates you song. It very nearly bordered on collusion. Everybody at the table backed Johnny Bax<\/strong> in his effort to get Kassouf to shut up and go home. Or at the very least, play at a reasonable pace.<\/p>\n

American poker players hate few things more than a player who takes too long<\/strong> to make what should be easy decisions. If there is one thing more loathed, it\u2019s a player who continually wastes time<\/strong> with the same one-liners he\u2019s be trying to lay on them for days. A stodgy sounding British accent doesn\u2019t help either.<\/p>\n

One might think the Americans that played with him were satisfied when Griffin Benger<\/strong> picked up aces against his kings, told him to check his privilege<\/a> and finally sent him packing. However, I suspect many were dissatisfied with the fact it took a Canadian<\/strong> to finally shut Kassouf down. Americans have always preferred to fight their own battles.<\/p>\n
