Re: Pinnacle bet ambiguity - Update: Pinnacle is awesome!

I'm not a mod, but deleting this thread would not be cool. Pinnacle screwed up with an ambiguous line, then tried to save face when they got bad PR for it. Sites dropping the ball don't get to re-write history simply because they were pressured into making good. If OP hadn't made a stink, this never would have gotten resolved. Pinnacle: if you don't want threads like this to exist, then man up when you get called out on drafting bad language and pay both sides before you need to be publicly shamed. Thread title change appropriate imo, but nothing more.

Came here to post what NLSoldier said. If I bet vs a friend I'd assume NO final table. Bet with Pinnacle given wording = clear pay both sides IMO

Re: Pinnacle bet ambiguity - Update: Pinnacle is awesome!

There's a listing here of who made the final table and no woman listed:
http://www.wsop.com/news/2013/Jul/39...OBER-NINE.html

In recent years, WSOP Main Event final tables have come to reflect and international collection of players with mixed backgrounds. However, this year’s Championship was dominated by Americans – who occupy eight of the nine seats in the finale. Andras Karoknai from Hungary stands as the lone international challenger.

However, perhaps the biggest story of the day was the stunning way the summer series ended with two female players taking 10th and 11th places, respectively. For most of the day it appeared that at least one female would match Poker Hall of Famer Barbara Enright’s 1995 feat, as the only female in history to make it to a Main Event final table. However, when Elisabeth Hille and Gaelle had their hopes crushed with bubblefinal table bustouts, the aspirations of a woman in the Championship came to a disappointing end.

This is true but any other book in the industry would have not paid.
Most offshore books are total crooks that will jump at any angle to freeroll customers.
props to pinnacle .

And make it way worse than whatever the original was (if this story is true).

OP: paste Pinny's emails to you about this. They know you're not in charge of 2+2 right?
