A disturbed poker player in the 2019 WSOP has pleaded guilty to terrorism charges after spending months undergoing mental health recovery to be able to stand trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last year will be remembered fondly. It was a year without the novel coronavirus and a year in which the 2019 World Series of Poker (WSOP)<\/strong> events could take place as scheduled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, one anecdotal incident from last year involved Ken Strauss<\/strong>, 45, a disturbed poker player<\/a>, who dropped his pants at the table and threw a shoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His behavior spiraled out of control so quickly that night that he had to be arrested and escorted out of the Luxor casino after he jumped on a craps table and pulled his pants for a second time that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He was disqualified from the $10,000 buy-in event<\/strong>, too. Now, according to Las Vegas Review-Journal Report, the player has pleaded guilty to terrorism charges<\/a>. He spent two weeks in custody after the Luxor incident, but his release didn’t make things any better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
