Poker ring busted by FBI in the Borgata...

I posted this in the poll thread about cheating where 90% of you think it's impossible. Remember, just because you are an honest player doesn't mean everybody else is. When you are dealing with large amounts of money there is always somebody who wants it the easy way, who thinks the rules don't apply to them. Here's proof......

that was awesome thanks for posting that link!! sorry to say I feel comforted to know Ill probably never be a victim of being cheated in a $5000 buy in tourney!

Yea, I read that a couple days ago. Pretty funny actually.

greed is a terrible thing. if cheaters used all that energy to do good they could be wealthy

i'll take my chances... it's good to notice how to spot cheating and have awareness, but if i'm paranoid about being cheated out of my money affects the game.

I also read in my local paper, that not only was a team player getting all the info via a tiny ear-peace, the cards were also marked, along with all information being entered into program for math. Also, that a well known player was playing there, but wasn't part of the team. Big stakes games only were taking place.

Ahhh, and noone mentioned the keyword yet, so guess ill have to:

RIGGED

Proof of what? That someone tried to chear and got caught? Of course, someone will always try, that doesn't mean that the tournament was rigged .. In fact, it's one of the best arguments I've yet seen against such a claim.

BTW, re/ your sig, the music was by J Garcia, the lyrics, as usual, by Mr Robert Hunter. Credit where it's due, after all.

when does the writer ever get credit in the music industry? lol

As usual, the cheaters get busted, no big surprise, its incredibly difficult to rig a big poker event!

Attention Everyone: IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE EVENT!

This was a private game set up in someone's hotel room for high stakes side action.
