Sorel Mizzi final tabled the most recent WCOOP event under the name bindernutnut. Karma prevailed and he eventually finished 9th. Speculation that he was using multiple accounts is not yet confirmed nor is the speculation that he has been doing this for a long time has been confirmed yet.
He played the tournament from his place in Las Vegas using a VPN.
Perhaps the most shocking part of the story is that one of his best friends Rory Brown also final tabled the event and Sorel spoke with him about strategy in the final table and offered to help him out both before the final table started and live.
London Royals manager and PokerStars pro Liv Boeree knew all about this and is one of the people on Sorels side (not telling her employers PokerStars) and putting it down to mental problems on Sorels side. Many other pros know about this and it has been gossip within the high stakes circles in Las Vegas for the last months.
Antonio Esfandiari and other former friends of Sorel have turned on him and asked him to repay all debts.
All of the above is factual, the suggestions that he has always continued to multi account playing via VPNs and betrayed more of his friends is simply unconfirmed speculation.
It would not surprise me if he has multiple accounts in today's Sunday majors. I think Liv should be pushed to make this public to PokerStars and the money won on this confirmed (to her and others) and other accounts that he is using should be confiscated.
I will not make another post on the subject.
