Incident at the WPT championship

Title: A Slight Incident
Log: Security had to be called over as Freddy Deeb and Haralabos Voulgaris had to be separated. Voulgaris had been eliminated and the two got into a confrontation after the hand. Voulgaris eventually left the poker room and everyone called down.

Anyone know the details of this? I remember Haralabos being an ass in that WPT episode that the grinder won. What was this about, and how intense did this get? They make it sound like they were actually fighting, though that seems hard to believe.

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

A little OT, but Freddy Deeb would beat the hell out of Haralabos if they came to blows.

Freddy Deeb probably went south again

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

Another thing of interest from Cardplayer: Ted Forrest didn't show up. He has been blinded down to 38K.

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

Now that's gangsta. Poker needs for a higher percentage of this trash-talking crap to result in fisticuffs. If you're gonna yap, back it up. Talking + no brawls = lame.

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

Freddy is even cooler now.

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

Seriously, the thing I thought especially weird about this is it involved Voulgaris. I really can't imagine him getting into a fight at all. I mean, he's like a really scrawny white guy! And though Freddy isn't the biggest guy in the world, he looks like he could beat the [censored] out of someone if he wanted.

From the WPT...

"Haralabos Voulgaris is a 29-year-old professional sports bettor from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. This poker tyro brings a lot more to his first WPT final table than meets the eye. He is a playwright, holds a degree in philosophy, and his goals reach far beyond the green felt. His plans for the next 5 years include learning to play the piano, to have one of his plays performed on Broadway, and to win a WPT title."

Doesn't sound like someone who'd give FD much of a go - barring any unmentioned black belts he may have earned.

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

While Deeb has always shown alot of spunk, the guy is 5'2 at best, in all seriousness. I met him in Tunica as a WSOP circuit event.

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

god i hate that harabolas guy...i'm glad he did not win. if there's the worst sportsmanship in the world award, he definitely deserves it.

How the hell does that "reach far beyond the green felt"? Great reporting/writing by these guys. If you going to say something like that, dont include poker as one of the goals after stating beyond poker plaing.

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

LOL. Well, maybe he postulates that in the next five years, casinos will start to use different colored felt.

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

From DN's blog:

"There was a "blow up" at the table next to me between Freddie Deeb and Haralabos. It looked like Freddie was going to clock him. For Freddie to get that hot, Haralabos had to do something to tick him off. Freddie just isn't that kind of guy at all, he is generally a fun loving guy... unless you piss him off!

I went over to the table and the people at the table said that Haralabos was riding Freddie all day long. Freddie then told me that he hasn't got mad at a player in a game once in the last two years. The last time he got angry at somebody... well, it was Haralabos!

I don't think Haralabos is a bad guy, but he has a way about him that can definitely rub people the wrong way. Based on the descriptions the table shared with me it sounded like he rubbed all of them the wrong way. Oh well, no harm done I guess."

He probably accused Freddy of going south.

!!! Gabe is a tool, all his goinf south and live straddle, he mentions it every fuckign episode like hes waiting for someone to ask him about it, as if he thinks he's the only person who knows what those terms mean, STFU GABE YOU BITCH!

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

Will someone explain to me what going south means? If it's what I THINK it means, it's not a bad thing, why is that such an insult?

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

Its a reference from HSP. Johnny Chan joked that Freddy "went south". It means taking some of your chips off the table and cashing them out, so the other players in the game can't win them back. Freddy went nuts over it, which is probably why people are bringing it up here.

Performing oral on a female, just like in the Mafia, it is taboo in the poker world.

That Haralobos guy is a real toolbox. Another douchebag to add to future polls about who the biggest current douche is. A disgrace to all Canadians with that attitude. Freddie should have clocked him.

Nobody f*cks with the Deebus.

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

Thank you bgoalie. It didn't make sense if they were referring to the oral sex act.

I didn't have the impression that Johnny was joking. It looked to me like he was trying to rile up the table. He made the comment, and then sat back and watched while everyone got worked up about it.

For those not familiar with the term "going south" (I never heard it before that show), it is also called "rat-holing".

please don't get carried away now. Freedy is a cool guy but he is no Joe Pesci type cool. Joe Pesci should be on every movie hollywood makes but I guess that can't happen without him being cloned.

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

that kind of drama is hilarious, wish i was there to witness

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

i heard about some beef with a security guard and a player when they wouldn't let his girlfriend in. and another heated argument between hellmuth and an amateur. the reporters from all in have a live chat session going on

Hellmuth goes off on one

Hellmuth was second to act and opened up the betting at $6,000. The button raised it $6,000 more and Hellmuth called. The button is an unknown, though Hellmuth has already used various 'colorful' words to describe him. The show was about to begin as Hellmuth thought out loud,''Must have KK or AA.'' Here comes the flop...

Phil checked and his lone opponent bet $7,000. ''Wow, $7,000, that's a pretty big bet there,'' said Hellmuth as he called. The turn...

Phil checked and called $14,000 while saying ''Wow, NICE hand buddy.'' The river brought along the...
5c

Phil checked and his 'good friend' from across the table bet $15,000. Phil called the bet and anxiously leaned forward to see what he was up against. Well, he was shown...

Phil jumped out of his chair, took one last look at his jacks, slammed his headphones down on the floor, and began shouting,''AWWWWW NO!! YOU [censored] [censored]!! TRYING TO GIVE ME YOUR [censored] CHIPS YOU [censored] SON OF A BITCH [censored]. [censored] RIDICULOUS I PLAY [censored] PERFECT ALL [censored] DAY AND YOU TRY TO GIVE ME ALL YOUR [censored] CHIPS AND YOU [censored] GET LUCKY. ALL THOSE CHIPS ARE [censored] MINE YOU [censored] GENIUS.... YOU CAN'T EVEN SPELL POKER YOU [censored] [censored]!!! BLUFFING OFF ALL YOUR CHIPS!! [censored]!!!'' A very sympathetic Doyle Brunson leaned back from the table next door and said,''Now Phil, tell us how you really feel about it.'' I don't think he needed much encouragement from Doyle to continue his rant, which is probably still ongoing.

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

Did his opponent have 55?

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

Freddy Deeb was hilarious in Twins.

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

yes oops he had 55

Aside from the poor grammar and punctuation, incoherence, and total lack of content, the fact that this post is totally devoid of humor eliminates it from the Post of the Hour Competition.

But nice try. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I believe the post was a cut/paste from the article that wasn't linked til later.

I have gone back and forth about Hellmuth, but in this case, he was the complete donk.

Guy min-raises preflop, and Phil didn't respect the fact that something might be up, and repop him serious or leave it alone.

He puts the guy on a hand, and the flop gives the guy the nuts if Phil is correct in his read. Turns out, Phil is wrong about the hand anyway.

Phil turns into a calling station. A complete, utter calling station.

And berates the dude about getting Phil to call down his relatively small bets until he hits.

Hehe.

Re: Incident at the WPT championship
 

It really is only a matter of time before Phil has to be seperated from somebody else. People aren't just going to let him talk [censored] to them forever.
