Darvin Moon Calls Former WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack "A Douchbag"

http://www.pokerlistings.com/darvin-...uisition-36886

2009 WSOP November Niner Darvin Moon is not pleased with former Epic Poker front man Jeffrey Pollack.

Moon, who famously avoided sponsors altogether during his Main Event run, made an exception for the HPT and signed with the tour as an ambassador last year.

The Maryland-based logger and amateur poker player specifically targeted Pollack for what happened to HPT.

“The whole crew were like a big family and Jeffrey [Pollack] had to go and f***ed it all up for them,” he said. “He’s a douchbag but that’s a part of life.”

Moon went on to say he’s unsure what will become of the HPT now that Epic Poker has filed for bankruptcy.

Re: Darvin Moon Calls Former WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack "A Douchbag"

HPT was purchased by Pinnacle Entertainment a few weeks ago. Surprised if Darvin is involved with the HPT he wasn't aware of this. Pinnacle has deep pockets, so this is a good thing for HPT.

The Heartland Poker Tour and assets of Federated Sports + Gaming Inc. were acquired by Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. at a bankruptcy auction this week.

According to reports, Pinnacle was one of at least four groups bidding on the HPT and FS+G in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland on Wednesday and Thursday. The highest bid for the HTP went for $4.2 million, and FS+G's assets went for $300,000. Those assets include the Epic Poker League, Global Poker Index, and the EpicPoker.com website.

Darvin Moon rejected every sponsorship and eventually signed with an organization run by Jeffrey Pollack, so I'll go ahead and call him a retard too.

(Also, he seems really dumb. We were like a family and he ruined it? He just sounds like he's had no idea what's going on at any point.)

Moon signed with HPT in march 2011, Pollack got involved with HPT in june 2011. You sound like you have no idea about what's going on at any point.

At the Rio, I was hearing things regarding the direction of the HPT after the Pinnacle purchase, and they weren't good. Darvin's probably on to something here.

+1 to about everything above. Darvin is an extremely respectable guy who never has a bad word to say about anyone. If Darvin Moon is sounding off on you, then there is a serious problem.
