*INSANE TRASH TALKING* When the Poker table turns into a COD lobby *YouTube REMOVED This stream*
48Following an incident that involved one player threatening violence against an opponent and his mother during Wednesday's live-stream, Big Bet Poker LIVE has issued an apologetic statement to PokerNews and said they do not condone such behavior.
Austin Yoo, a Los Angeles cash game player, and Jason Liu, a Stanford University graduate who has worked for Twitter and Facebook, engaged in a heated argument at the poker table that turned south real fast.
According to Big Bet Poker on Reddit, both players got into a physical altercation before security stepped in to separate them. The confrontation didn't air on stream as the cameras stopped rolling so as to not promote physical violence.
"We regret this confrontation happened on stream and shut the stream down as soon as we saw it escalating to such a level. Our goal is to provide a safe atmosphere for high stakes poker players from all walks of life to come, have fun and celebrate the game of poker. The two players involved have been banned from our stream at this time. We hope to be making future headlines with new ideas, big pots and great competition. Poker trash talking is one thing, but it crossed a line that doesnโt represent the spirit of what Big Bet Poker is trying to achieve."
