I will give most people a break because as you say we are human...I won't give them for cheaters so if collusion rumors are true then he deserves all bad that comes his way...can't believe no one else mentions the fact the IMO Tommy Chan was more the reason for his success and his out right luck then any skill he might have had...
It's Johny Chan
Look at the video that i linked.
Jamie holds AJ
Guy holds QJ
Flop come x x J (with a flush draw for the guy). Guy goes all in.
The talk was related that after the guy went all in, Jamie Gold went(with a bitter face) "I have top top.
I WOULDN'T HAVE CALLED YOU, I THOUGHT YOU SAID TOP TOP"
The guy said something like chop chop. Jamie went all in only to see that the guy had QJ instead of AJ.
The talk went on with Jamie saying "I have top top. Top pair top kicker.".
Guy says i thought you said chop chop.
At one point is the commentator says that they both play at the Commerce Casino.
Watch the video and see for yourself.
Not collusion... Weird? Yes.
All the talk took place after the money went in. Even the first time he said "Top Top" it was when no other action was ahead of him.

It seems like collusion from my point of view. Everybody has their opinion and mine is that it's unfair to other people who drag their short stacks just in the hope of getting one more position over for a bigger cash prize, while the chip leader who abuses every short stack, takes it easier on a friend.
Everyone has their own opinion. I respect yours
