The unintended consequence from this event may be that casinos running tournaments may make us wait till the tourney has finished and ruled official before paying people out.

Probably easier for an internet whiz to copy it Adam

When you make a new post, there's a little icon that looks like a picture of mountains. It shows up right below the text "Hand History Converter." Click that and then paste the URL of the picture into it and it'll be in your post.

You can upload the picture to a site like Flickr, Instagram, etc as far as I know and then just get the URL and paste it in.

If one or more of the cheaters are identified and disqualified, do all the other players move up a spot?

What about the players who bubbled? Now they'd be in the money.

Such a logistical nightmare.

Are those new/old or fake/real. Or a mix? Cause there were three types of 5K chips in this event. New real, old real and fake.

Looks to me IMO they're all legit ones

Adam can you offer an insight as to what the last two days have been like for you?

Holy chip pron! Who owns that?! Nice one

Also, has TAB responded on this irrelevant, annoying, waste-of-his-time forum full of dumb people as of yet?

Just wondering

I love poker and I love to compete. I am a business owner and a family man first. So when I do get a chance to play I truly appreciate the time at the table. I work very hard to play quality poker and be a VERY decent human being at the table. So when I woke up Friday morning with 4.7 million I was ready to rock! Then to be sent home Friday, and to come back Saturday and told the event had been canceled... Wow!
Now I am at the point where I am hopeful the cheaters get nailed, and the 27 left get a chance to finish this thing.

Thanks for correcting me. With the way this was being hyped - and the fact that it's a WPT event - I just assumed it was a big buy-in tournament (like around a $5K buy-in) and the prize for first place would be a cool million. My mistake ...

Since first place would have paid approximately $370,000, it won't cost Borgata nearly as much as I originally projected. They might as well go ahead and pay all 27 first place money and eat the loss. If the Borgata can get all 27 to agree not to file lawsuits, it might be worth it. If the Borgata refuses to do this, maybe the New Jersey DGE will force them to do so. (I can see where the state of New Jersey has a strong interest in making sure something like this never happens again.)

For someone who prides themself on accuracy, first you claim its $1m for first, now you're saying its a wpt event. Cmon.

Also, 9.9m.... not sure theyll do that

Dueling Alan's.

+1, wish you would stop

Why do the people who made the top 27 deserve first place money and not 28th, 29th, 30th, etc. To pay out first place money to everyone left would open the door to more lawsuits, not prevent them. No way this happens.

All talk of a lawsuit is all talk. Borgata has no liability whatsoever- and do any of you have any idea how much it costs to pursue a case against a deep pocket defendant that they can drag out for years . Story is well tol in Kim Eislers revenge of the pequots about Foxwoods. I think it's still available on kindle.

Your right, if reports are correct, suspicion developed much sooner so should people whom got knocked out say, 28 thru 50 get more of the purse. Lol this event was cancelled thus making it null and void. This is a cluster****. 28th got paid 6k plus. Can't go seeking cash back. There are people who got felted by cheaters. Weather it by loose calls or pushed by big stacks, play was altered by people boosting there stacks with fake chips. The Borgata has to refund all entries and find an arbitrator to come to some fair settlement for the remaining 27.

Indian casinos operate under a different legal process

If borgata wants future events to be successful keep there wpt sponsorship they will refund it's a drop in the hat. And it would most likely be a class action lawsuit where one lawyer fights for everyone. Borgata will spend a lot in paying lawyer fees and will want to avoid the bad publicity. It's more then the money at stake it's their name.

I think I'll go play some tournaments at the Borgata.

Somehow I feel like the chip leader already'

such a great legal mind but has no idea difference between their and there and then and than

I'll tell you what's at stake. Their online gaming success. There slogan is Safe and Secure. This is a public relations nightmare.

Lighten up. It's just a drop in the hat bro.

Good job man I'm glad you can pick out my faults as I'm driving on 95 I'm so happy for you.

I have been saying this for two years. the Borgata has a beautiful set of chips that they use approx 6x a year for the biggest buyin main events at each series and a few big buy in heads up tournys. start using these for more events already!!! its an absolute joke the chips they use for $500 buy ins. the chips are so small that when stacked in piles of 40 they move all over the place, not to mention the disgusting filth that is on them. What are they saving these the nice ones for??? and they should have been busted out already if they are going to continue this series
