Matt is not a poker pro

Cliffs, Calvin article: Elton Tsang (who comes across as extremely credible) describes getting majorly screwed over by Leon.

Don't lend money/chips or play against someone that doesn't have his cash or chips that can be immediately cashed on the table.

Interesting read on Elton Tsang, Leon's response sounds like he's dodging and making excuses, would love to see more develop on both debts

I know it seems ridiculous, but I can virtually guarantee the affects this will have on Leon's credit in HS games, HS action in Leon's casino, or any part of his gambling business will be pretty negligible.

Tbh i hope someone owes him a bunch and sees this, scum gonna get scummed

Still working for me.

The story is true:

We should together as poker players boycott Kings Casino.

He recently did it to Matt Kirk as well:

Leon Tsoukernik is the biggest scumbag in the history of poker.

That part is not even close to being true. I doubt he cracks the top 500.

“I know he took massive pieces of Jungleman and Christoph, over 90%, so it was me against those three. I also know he was doing similar things with Igor, Philipp, and some of the other western pros.


why would you play in a game like that ?

I'm pretty sure he found out after the fact.

Yeah, that Elton Tsang story was a great read. Would love to hear more about this chairman guy. Firing several bullets amounting to 10mil. Playing 3 handed with Dwan. Crazy.

Sounds like it might be Tony Bloom.

How did you come to this conclusion? Certainly <500 as to the amount owed, so what are your rating parameters?

I am curious as to why guys like Igor and Phillip, who with their charity organisation, seem to be a super honorable bunch. Would agree to playing a 3/4 handed game where only one player wasn't playing from the same wallet as the rest of them?

Seems like an extremely sketchy thing to do. Igor had a super interesting and openhearted pod with Joe Ingram and I would like him to speak up again. I really admired the person Igor after that pod. I would really like him to confirm my admiration for him by giving his side of the story. As for now Igor and alos Phillip, Christoph and Jungle all have some explaining to do if you ask me.

Believe this is Paul Phua aka macelasia aka the World's biggest Bookie.

Nothing like working hard to earn the admiration of 2+2 member but then having to confirm that admiration only a short time later

The reference was to scumbags and, in my opinion, poker players who are pedophiles or rapists or murderers rank higher on the scumbag list than poker players who just stiff others on debts incurred while playing poker.

Odd way to look at it but you're not wrong

I guess I had that in mind after recently reading a former PStar execs' poker blog and his recounting of his dealings with Amarillo "Tim" and how even before his "legal troubles" late in life he was someone that even his friends said you never wanted to be alone with. Amarillo "Tim" as you know was at one time probably the most famous poker player in the world if judged by appearances on mainstream media like "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson."

Also, defrauding a little old lady of her life's savings to fund a poker habit seems worse to me than stiffing a guy at the tables for the same or even a greater amount loaned to keep the game going. Context matters.

No, the Chairman and Paul Phua are 2 totally different players. The Chairman is Qin Si Xin.

Fascinating and staggering Elton Sang article right there. A lot of pro's associated with Leon don't come off too well - I wonder if any of them will have the metal to respond..? In particular Igor & Phillip who have the REG charity brand to consider and protect.

Poker is as sketchy as John Constable.

yeah logged into to post this, he used to be a partner in a major junket operator...

Was baller enough to cause macau gambling stocks to drop 5 percent in a day...billions in market cap from the companies... business insider article
