Perhaps somebody should tell a higher up at the Rio about his Michael's recent escapades?

WHAT IF...

THE OP IS ACTUALLY THE OLD GUY WHO GOT CANNED!!!!

I don't see what the big deal is. Mat and I scam you out of lunch every time you come by the office.

Best wishes,
mason

If he was approaching you, a stranger, out of the blue at the airport, with a completely invented story for a scam, why on earth would he give you his real name? Must be meta game..

[2:22:28 AM] oliver greer: i gave that guy advice on skin cream in LA one day

ill take over 200 lbs for all the garbanzos tonite.

For reference purposes, aside from the alias we know 'PSUMike1999' it is believed that Michael Borovetz goes by the following aliases as well:

H Michael Borovetz
Henry Michael Borovetz
Michael H Borovetz
Henry Borovetz

If you are approached by an unassuming man with any of these aliases please do NOT give him your money. I repeat, do not give him any of your money.

those arent aliases, thats his name

Heh, well, I wouldn't call OP young, but....no.

In all seriousness, if anyone isn't familiar with OP, all the 2+2 staff knows him; he's been involved in the poker business for many years. Mat, Mason, and PP see him quite often, and I see him at affiliate conferences now and then. No reason to believe this thread isn't legit.

However, his name spelling leaves something to be desired, so I've fixed that in the OP and title.

Oh, and of course PSUMike's Marketplace Approval is removed for the time being.

<3 Scambook.

^^^ I appreciate the input sirswish6, but at this time I need you to take a few steps back and let me do my job.

Also found an arrest record for Grand Larceny from 2010 in NY for a Michael Borovetz. Records show that a Michael Borovetz from State College PA was born in January 1975 which checks out with the arrest record below.

Detention Date: November 5th, 2010
Location:
Queens, NY
Age: 38
Date of Birth: 1975-01-07
Charges: GRAND LARCENY - NOT AUTO 4TH E

An unrelated picture of our favorite NVGer:

Looks like this pic was taken right after he read this thread.

i appreciate your input but i need you to let me do my job as well

If he's a frequent poster he's definitely seen the thread. Why isn't he here defending his name?

This thread's been open for <3 hours - believe it or not, someone can post once a day on average and be away from 2+2 for periods much, much longer than 3 hours.

His profile shows he hasn't been on 2+2 since before the thread was created.

His handwriting was a bit tough to read.

FWIW, I think he has lost a couple of pounds since those photos, but it definitely was the guy in those pictures.

Wow, if this is him...He loves to post on the juiciest scandals and gossip often taking the moral high ground. Here's another nice example. I wonder if he'll claim Phil Hellmuth would get preferential treatment if he was scamming.

Re: Palm beach wsopc 25k chip stolen from FT (DQ'd/banned from WSOP/C events))

I think anyone stealing chip(s) off the table under any circumstances deserves harsh punishment. The integrity of the game needs to be preserved but ask yourself this:

What if Phil Hellmuth was playing the event, won and took the 25k chip off the table??? Someone sees him do it and brings it to the attention of the PBKC Tournament director. Phil claims he wanted it as a souvenir because it's his 1st circuit ring and wants to frame the chip. Do you guys REALLY THINK GOOD OL' CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT WOULD PERMANENTLY BAN HIM FROM ALL THEIR PROPERTIES??? HOW ABOUT DQING HIM??? HOW ABOUT BANNING HIM FROM PBKC AND KEEPING HIS WINNINGS????

I'll answer that myself - HELL NO!!! There is blatant favoritism that these "top pros" get all over the place and that's the 1 problem with all these "daily", "weekly", "monthly" rulings that occur whenever something controversial happens. If Chan Pelton would be treated the same way as Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth would be for taking a 25k chip off the table for a "souvenir" then by all means - PERM BAN AWAY.

Unfortunately, there are 2 sets of rules, 1 for the general poker population and another set for poker "celebrities". If Phil Hellmuth did the same thing I highly doubt ANY of those same punishments would be levied. Instead, PBKC and Caesars would probably come out with a great spin statement supporting Phil's "unawareness" of the circuit rules and since the tournament had ended, no harm was done.

*grabs popcorn*

Im on 2+2 id say on average about an hour a week and me just quickly browsing here and there instantly recognized that name as a pretty big poster... Im not sure what that has to do with anything at all so carry on lol.

Someone should act all clueless and pretend to fall for his scam and videotape him at the airport in the act.

I'd give him the $10 just for the look on his face when I go into my pocket w/ him thinking that I fell for it and then just hand him the ten.

That and it's the play straight out of 'A Bronx Tale.'

I've seen a few films about conmen and they all seem to have loads of charm and charisma which helps them pull the cons off. Leonardio Di Caprio eat you heart out, this guy looks like he's got it!

You mean like this ?
