It took all of one day for a high-profile run-in at the 2011 World Series of Poker (WSOP) to occur. On Day 1 of the $25,000 Heads-Up Championship, reigning WSOP Europe Main Event champion James Bord called Full Tilt Pokerpro John Juanda (pictured), among other names, a “thieving prick.” Security and floor officials were called in following the exchange as the 2011 WSOP began with a bang.

WSOP officials told PocketFives.com on Wednesday that no repercussions will be handed down as a result of the altercation.

Coverage found on the official website of the WSOP painted a picture of the scene inside the Rio in Las Vegas: “We heard, ‘You’re a thieving prick,’ ‘You’re a disgrace,’ and ‘You’re a fake and disgusting human being,’ among other things. Juanda was trying to get a word in edgewise, but Bord (pictured) wasn’t giving him space. Finally, the words came that ended the altercation. ‘If I see you in the parking lot, I’m going to beat your ass,’ Bord announced.”

Whether the run-in was due to player cashouts still being unavailable on Full Tilt Poker remains to be seen; however, refunds reportedly sparked the war of words. Juanda’s match was the final one to end on Tuesday and saw him dispense of Kenny Tran. In the match’s last hand, Tran was all-in before the flop with K-Q and up against Juanda’s A-3. The flop of K-4-6 gave Tran an early lead, but Juanda spiked an ace on the river to advance to Day 2.

Full Tilt pros have been in the spotlight so far at the 2011 WSOP. On Tuesday, Phil Ivey (pictured) announced via Facebook that he would not be playing in the annual tournament seriesuntil refunds are issued to U.S. players. Meanwhile, Tom Dwan announced via Twitter on Wednesday, “I’ll be playing WSOP. Feel fine about that morally b/c I’ve already said I’ll give back 100% [of what] I was paid by FTP if players aren’t paid in full.”

Interestingly enough, Bord is a Full Tilt Red Pro, while Juanda is a card-carrying member of Team Full Tilt. Both are former WSOP Europe Main Event winners.

Sixty-four players are left standing in the $25,000 Heads-Up Championship, whose prize pool of $3.04 million represented the largest heads-up purse in WSOP history. The following 16 matches will resume starting at 3:00pm PT from the depths of the Rio:

Several high-profile poker players have commented on Ivey’s Facebook post, including PokerStarspro Daniel Negreanu (pictured). “Kid Poker” lauded via Twitter, “Read Ivey’s statement on not playing the WSOP. Tough spot, but I definitely admire his decision to put the players funds before bracelets… I imagine it was an uber-tough decision because Ivey loves the WSOP, but he couldn’t in good conscious play while U.S. customers haven’t been paid.”

Also weighing in on Ivey’s words was Dwan, who Tweeted on Wednesday, “Yo @philivey poker isn’t a sport… Rest of your statement is awesome though.” Stewart stuman123 Yancik joked via Twitter, “Well, no #philivey @wsop this year… Does this mean all bracelet events should have an asterisk? I think so!”
