Chino Rheem to carry the banner for the Epic Poker League as its inaugural champion - Page 3 - Poker News

Epic poker league lolol. What is so bad is whoever named this thing never learned that in business a bad name is a killer and epic isn't cutting it. Such fail.

I like the name...so much better than World Poker Blank or Professional Poker Blank

This league is so obviously rigged, seriously.

What a coincidence. Rheem wins, Savage Tournament Director, Annie Dukes league.. Better make the final table good, have Seidel and Mercier there - people will believe that.

lol.. truly a joke, if anyone thinks coincidences like this happen in a fair world.

The sickest part about him winning tonight is that it's likely going to make it easier for him to scam more people in the future.

In the interview after his win he mentions that in his situation it can only go forwards, so maybe he realises it is the right moment to come clean and pay everyone back, he had probably already thought about running away with the money from his backer of this tourney if it hadn't went well

After reading through this thread I can't help but laugh at the people who are saying hopefully now chino can pay people back. Obviously the guy is a degenerate gambler. He cannot and will not pay anyone back. Whilst I'm on the subject it has always amazed me at how the pokerworld is so trusting of eachother like there is some sort of moral code that poker players must stick together and be honest and trustworthy in our dealings together like no need for a contract or something, everything is agreed upon with a handshake. Get the f--- outa here this ain't some cowboy movie! Dont trust anyone so easily with your money.

Is it just me, or is Gavin Smith starting to look a little bit like Paula Poundstone?

Mike Matusow, the guy that makes a 2 million dollar prop bet and then pays it back in 5k monthly payments. Yeah, he's a good pick to defend Chino.

Tho I love Rheem as a poker player

but it has been confirmed that he doesnt pay people back. mike got paid back so he thinks everyone does? He needs to adjust his drug intake imo. he is the one that doesnt know wtf he's talking about, despite being "in the know"

The character committee that the league has introduced is a great thing to have as part of such an "elite" tournament series as well. And who better to form a character committee than Annie Duke, who is beyond famous for her pleasant demeanor and constant charm? Every time that I have the pleasure of seeing Annie Duke she sure looks like she is always enjoying herself at the table while showing immense respect to her fellow players, so the casual fan should be incredibly enthusiastic about having her on the mic as league commissioner. Her entire family is very prudent in looking after poker players' best interests for that matter.

Congrats to the Epic Poker League, the Duke (Lederer) family, and its inaugural champion Chino Rheem. Poker is truly soaring to new heights this decade!

They are going to post this on their website as an example of what they think over at 2+2
