As election day draws near, it appears that politics have driven a huge wedge between two of the best no-limit hold’em players the game has ever seen.
Poker Hall of Famer Doyle Brunson and three-time bracelet winner Vanessa Selbst got into it on Thursday over Trump vs. Clinton. The argument began with Brunson saying something anti-Clinton and Selbst chiming in. It ended with both poker players taking a shot at each other’s character in the gambling world.
Brunson referenced a controversial prop bet Selbst had this past summer at the World Series of Poker with Jason Mercier. Selbst responded, “Yeah, paying $100,000 [equals] welching. I doubt you want to start a debate about ethics in poker.”
The 83-year-old poker legend no longer competes at the WSOP, but he’s still a fixture in high-stakes cash games in Las Vegas. Selbst, 32, is a Yale Law School grad and the top female tournament earner of all time.

I'll bet a lot of money I can name (and prove) twice that many lies Hillary has said. Maybe 10 times? https://twitter.com/diedemink/status/778469140545675265 …

@TexDolly You're just like the rest of the ignorant masses. Recycling talking points, making assertions, avoiding actual facts and logic.
