Ah the many colorful characters to be found at the WSOP. It's like a giant soap opra but with more butt sweat.

We at the Beat quite enjoyed this week's +EV comic and thought you might too. It's got a bit of a back story though so to enjoy it fully, here's what creator Bobby Crosby had to say about it:

You'd basically have to spend a couple hours reading this massive thread to understand today's strip. Cliff notes version: Well respected top online player Aaron Been was playing with far less respected live player Vanessa Rousso during WSOP Event 30 last Monday. They had a brief verbal exchange after Vanessa made a horrible play and called her opponent (not Aaron) an idiot who two-outered her when she actually checked and let him it. Vanessa got very upset when Aaron said she played badly and went crying to her boyfriend Chad Brown, a suspected steroids user who lists Bill O'Reilly as one of the two people he'd like to meet in this world, who then threatened to beat up Aaron and tried to force him to apologize. Aaron simply walked away.
