After a 17-hour long marathon of playing cash games at the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City, it turns out that 440-pound Brooklyn man Michael Wax smelled very, very badly. So bad, in fact, that his tablemates complained about his body odor, causing the casino to eject him from the premises, which left him fuming….more than he already was.

The 54-year-old limousine company owner, who says he is a frequent gambler at the Borgata, said a poker room manager followed him into the restroom and informed him that patrons at his table were complaining about his body odor.

When he tried to re-take his seat at the table, he said a manager told him he couldn't play anymore and to leave. He said he asked for a free room to freshen up, and the casino refused.

He promptly filed a complaint about his treatment with the Casino Control Commission. His complaint will be reviewed to determine whether any state gambling laws or regulations were violated.

Wax obviously feels offended, despite his self-professed offensive body odor, and would like an apology from the casino for embarrassing him in front of his fellow poker players.

You know where you don't have to worry about smelling 440-pound guys who haven't showered in 17 hours or more, unless you are that guy? When you play online poker in the Bodog Poker room. Then the only thing you have to worry about is your own filth and we'd like to not dwell on that. So, we're done now.
