Any verification this really happened?

Or did Maurice perhaps just get berated by this guy, and he added the n-word stuff on his own?

Hard to believe someone would plunk down $10,000 for the Main and then say something like that to a black guy at the table, especially in 2018.

I really believe this happened, I know its hard to believe in 2018 but having played with maurice I can see this happening, Of course he leaves out the fact he ran his mouth for probably 9 hours and the guy went off the rails, Telling him to shut up "Dirty N**ger" is the way i heard it from 3rd party

[devidee]

A day long penalty for calling someone dirty?

Harsh, imo.

[Lord of the Fraud]

Remember he used to share bits of his life with us?

Now tho, Pooh doesn't even share the fact that he jumped in the Main Event this year.

I put it at 90% you and I have sat at a table together and one point or another.

Having some experience of my own I could see this happening exactly the way you put it.

really? do you watch the news or just fox news? I have NO IDEA if this happened but every day I hear of some racial incident that leaves me speechless. It is like since the inauguration of the orange orangutan, people have felt empowered to express their racial beliefs. I would have been surprised if this happened five years ago. Today-- not so much

The filters are off, there's no question.

[hongkonger]

Some people call me Maurice.

[snake_in_the_ass]

Every black person in America has to play the racism card just like every Jew has to remind you of the Holocaust.

Maybe the looks were because he looks like Jabba the Hut.

seriously this had to be said.

the whole point of voting for trump for probably a solid 20%+ of his base hinged on being able to call 'problematic' black people n-words in public.

Looks like the player got disqualified. I want to know what was said prior to the word n-word being used. Did Maurice verbally abuse the player until he exploded and called him the most hateful thing he could think of? That doesn't make him a racist. It's like calling your girlfriend a whore when you are fighting with her.

Looks like the n-bomb guy get the heave ho from Jack Effel:

the fact that it just some dude needling him who doesnt even speak fluent english complicates this from a moral perspective but yeah, dq is appropriate.

people who take responsibility for their actions will say that makes him a racist and misogynist

people who do not take responsibility for their actions say I was mad and provoked. It was somebody else fault.
