Default Mark \"the douchebag\" Vos and WSOP HORSE Event

Is Mark Vos a contender? He's been playing on FTP and doing very well.

Can you do a hit and run in a tournament? If so he will probably play.

They must have a rule where a player is allowed to play drunk.

Before Ansky gets on this thread to tell us what a great guy Mark Vos is, I'd like to report some more specific anecdotal evidence of Major Vos Douchiness.

Late in the 1K rebuy (middle of day 2), Mark comes over from the rail and starts schmoozing with Kevin "Bleu" Peterson, who is a really easygoing, mellow guy. They seem friendly but not like "best friends" or anything.

After a little while, Mark says something like, "Hey mate, sell me 1% of your action." Kevin politely demurs, saying, "Um, nah, like, I kinda...don't...really...want to...I sorta like having all pieces of myself..."

Vos is insistent, "Come on man: Figure out your equity and sell me one percent." Then he scurries off.

Mark walks away and we all discuss what a jerk he is for interacting with a player in the game that way, etc. I tell Kevin, "Man, I woulda told that guy to get the f*ck out of my face after the 'equity' request." We all had a laugh.

Anyway, Mark comes less than two minutes later and resumes pestering Kevin for the percent. I couldn't believe it. This time Kevin is more curt about it and just says, "No" more or less. Mark immediately responds, "Well, then, I'm not rooting for you anymore. Nope, I can't root for you to win anymore."

CLEAR THE MOTHERF***ING RAIL!!!

Cliff notes: Mark Voss is a huge douchebag who thinks he's entitled to walk around the tournament area harassing acquaintances for percentages, and will attempt to extort said percentage by threatening to root against them if they don't acquiesce.

A couple hours later, I did bust Kevin Peterson on a bad beat, with K8 vs 99 aipf. The Mark Vos One Man Mafia is powerful indeed.

Shane what have I done to deserve the title of defender of Mark Vos? As I recall I once said he was the man in a post, twice at most. I hung out with him in Monaco a bunch and he was a cool guy for the most part, but I barely know him so I don't know why you think I would come in and blindly defend him.

If there are anecdotes where he is a douche, so be it, like I said I hardly know him.
