A masseuse at the World Series of Poker has been fired after giving a nipple massage to a poker player at a WSOP table.
As with any World Series of Poker, the game is the main focus of the annual event, but without fail, a major controversy is bound to dominate the news at some point.
On Monday, it involved a massage given to a poker player seated at one of the WSOP events. Although the event was not broadcast, โFrank The Tankโ posted a video of a masseuse โmassagingโ his nipples while seated at the poker table. The video has since been deleted but screenshots were posted shortly after on Twitter.
Unsurprisingly, the tweet garnered mixed reactions from the poker community, with some giving it an โonly in Las Vegasโ shrug. Others pointed out the hypocrisy of attracting women in poker and some menโs reactions to the incident, not to mention that the masseuse was fired with no apparent consequences for the player.
After the photo went viral on Monday, came word that the masseuse had been fired.
Frank โThe Tankโ Stepuchin, an eccentric poker player known by some for โwacky antics,โ apologized for the incident and asked that the WSOP to reconsider its decision.
Frank โThe Tankโ later criticized Farrah Galfond, wife of Phil Galfond, who penned an opinion about the incident and hinted that Farrah Galfond may have played a role in the firing, a claim she denied in a tweet posted on Tuesday.
