A spokesperson for the World Series of Poker confirmed that Diaz had been booted, but declined to discuss the matter, citing legal reasons. It’s unclear exactly what happened.
Two days after he was kicked out, Diaz was still coming to grips with not being able to play any more poker tournaments at the Series this year.
