Borgata finds counterfeit 5k chips in WPO #1-Cncls event-Arrest made-Lawsuit filed-*RULING OUT* - Page 16 - Poker News

It is entirely possible that the gaming/Borgata investigation will continue as the tournament plays down. There's no way, short of identifying a cheater in one of the 27 that this doesn't restart and play down to a winner. We may not hear about the full resolution today.

They have to have a resolution in order to restart. How can you keep playing when cheaters chips are in play? Have to figure out who has the "dirty" chips and free them of any collusion accusations before restart IMO

Unbelievable nothing has been done about this. I'll be very surprised if Men and his crew aren't involved in this Borgata mess.

Even if he is not involved in this Borgata mess, how is he allowed in any casino ? How did he every get hyped on WSOP/WPT TV Poker as some type of reputable player ?

I know there's side events and stuff but that stuff doesn't start until the big ones are narrowing down players.

Running two day 1s on same day made them have to have 300 dealers that day essentially they should do separate days which means less dealers and more competent dealers.

Competent dealers don't grow on trees. They are actual people with real life expenses also. Point is people aren't going to sit around for a job that's needed occasionally every few months. Eventually the casino has to hire who they can get. It's the same problem the wsop faces also. Occasional heavy demand of employees leads to unskilled temps

Announcement now scheduled for 12:30 from the Borgata. Rumors among those at the Borgata say three individuals are involved.

Edit: That info is from Nick Guagenti, 2/27 in Event 1.

I have often wondered this very thing. I remember hearing about this hotel room full of chips, way back in the day, and it is puzzling that no one really speaks out ( spoke out about it more ) other than Daniel. Maybe it got more press and I just missed it, that could be possible.

That was where I first ever heard of it. Well that along with how bad Annies feet stunk.
