Re: Russ Hamilton directly implicated by KGC
G911 is a garbage site. Here's the full article so you don't have to visit:

Re: Russ Hamilton directly implicated by KGC
From the linked article by the OP:
"The cheating, which was first discovered by members of a popular online poker community, has been found to have been perpetrated mainly by Russ Hamilton, the World Series of Poker winner who was formerly associated with Ultimate Bet's affiliate program, according to the commission.
Another black mark against poker and the WSOP.
If this proves out, then Russ Hamilton should be banned from poker. Every Tournament Director and Poker Room Manager should ask him to leave.

Re: Russ Hamilton directly implicated by KGC
$60 million?! Is that the real amount or a typo?

Re: Russ Hamilton directly implicated by KGC
It is truly sad that he brought Barry down with him, kind of. When Barry stood up for Russ, I really felt like Barry put himself in a no win situation. I mean, standing up for someone that has taken a lot of heat from people.
It would be rather interesting to hear Barry's response to this, and/or his thoughts.

Re: Russ Hamilton directly implicated by KGC
What is Greenstein saying now? I wonder if there isnt any foul play linked with hole card cams now at the WSOP.

Re: Russ Hamilton directly implicated by KGC
I know g911 is questionable source, but it was posted. I have tried to find another source including the KGC page, but thus far cannot.

Re: Russ Hamilton directly implicated by KGC
Why would they not notify this site first about the findings?
