The William Kassouf Show at the World Series of Poker Main Event finally — mercifully — ended.
The controversial poker pro from England, who repeatedly clashed with players and WSOP staff for the past several days, was eliminated late Saturday from the $10,000 buy-in No-limit Hold’em World Championship in 33rd place.
After busting, Kassouf was informed by tournament director Dennis Jones he was banned for the remainder of the WSOP, which ends Wednesday, and escorted out of the Horseshoe Events Center by security.
The Main Event continued late Sunday until the final table of nine players was set. Braxton Dunaway of Texas held a commanding chip lead at the 8 p.m. dinner break with 17 players remaining from the starting field of 9,735. Las Vegas resident Adam Hendrix was in second place.
