Norman Chad was actually funny here. "Verbal abuse" is a bit extreme. I mean, Kassouf is being a dbag...but he didn't do anything wrong. Benger is a bit over-reactive.
Don't know if it's verbal abuse or no , the only thing for sure is that Benger said this when a player from the table said " clock " so he got afraid that Assouf might fold in the end after all this solo talking , so he started all this about 'verbal abuse' thing to show that he was feeling bad to show weakness to make his opponent go all in , at least that is what I believe .
