Playing Denis Leary to Tyler Durden's Bill Hicks.

Not exactly rocket science, do you take notes to remember to put trash in the trash can as well? Really, who doesn't get this or wouldn't think of this immediately if asked how someone could get rid of fake chips. Hoping this was just another bad bandwagon trolling attempt of AK.

Chainsaw makes perfect sense with ammo in your poket you play plenty of pots. Wont mind losing some. Always put in an oversized fake for change. They look so different ez to tell whuch chip ur putting jn

He àlso might have had5or 6 table changes dispersing chips all over.

No need to apologize, just because the post was 12 hours earlier than the arrest. We don't know if the post is what tipped them off to his whereabouts, or even if he is JustbeacauseIcan, but that time frame would be much more likely than the simultaneous post and bust scenario. Would take time to look into new leads and daytime busts are less stormtropper style.

\o/ WINNING \o/

Is the WSOPC safe because their chips look easy to duplicate.

Confirmed, would have been post #86 ITT:

I'm just catching up on the thread at 3:00 AM so it could be that I'm tired and missing something, but even if his story is true, how are people getting that this would be Christian? Isn't he speculating as to how the chips came to be played in the tournament? If his story is true, and I'm reading his posts correctly, he wasn't playing with the chips.

Time for bed, and I guess I'll see later today if there's a lot of people with poor reading comprehension, or if I'm the idiot that should be posting less after 3:00 AM.

The problem with your conditional statement in this case is that the first half is always true, regardless of the correctness of the second half.

Sir Bobo,

justbecasueican comes on and tries to cleanse his soul with 2+2 confessions, says he was involved, more to the story, oh I flushed chips down my toilet and will be arrested on Monday

next day

So

EITHER

Rusardi and justbeacuseican both flushed chips down the toilet of different rooms and only justbecauseican's chip "dump" made it safely thru the plumbing

OR

the two shared the same room at Harrahs (quite plausible as scammers like to hang with scammers)

OR

they are one in the same.

Or justbecause was obvious BS-ing

In my experience there are plenty of adults who don't have the slightest concept of how plumbing actually works. They seem to think a toilet magically disintegrates anything placed into it.

If one of these people was also strung out, it might seem like a good idea to magically disintegrate the chips instead of taking the tiny chance that they would be traced back to him if he just threw them in some random dumpster.

OK, we have to throw a yellow flag on this logic.

If he is so successful at dumping the fake chips, then there is no way he can accumulate. They can get spread around the table, but if they are a substantial fraction of the table, he's still going to end up a signficant number in his stack.

Those he sends into the pots he wins, he gets back. If he accumulates chips (which he'd have to do to survive into the money), then he's going to still have fakes.

While the chips added were a small fraction of the total in the tournament, they had to be a large fraction of the total on his table(s).

Whats he supposed to do? Dump all his fakes and then fold in any pot where there are put back in? And win enough to stay alive?

That what he wants. Being the only one with NO fake chips at a table would be a huge red flag. So I'm not really sure why people are trying to set that as the goal.

The scammer will presumably be splashing around at first, and if he bets only fake chips only for a while, he can forget all about it later and just play his normal game/style, not worry about sorting his chip stacks, etc.

Any chance the real chips are electronically tagged and something went awry when Borgata did a standard sweep of the room?

Doesn't appear that way. A news story previously included in this thread says Borgata was alerted about the "chip dump" and that was what started their investigation. Scary to think that he may have been just one dumb move away from pulling it off.

When they say $2.7M in fake chips in the toilet, it sounds good in the story, but it is really about $70K in fake chips, 2.7M chips at 20K for $500.

Why wouldn't you dump them in some dumpster, lol?

Some people think they won the lottery, like they are going to refund everyone's buyins. It would be nice, but don't see why they should do that because of one cheater.

this is a critical point of fact... source?

How would one prove that NO chips were introduced before?

I didn't play in tourney. what was opening chip stack denoms?

wait.. are you saying he just made up the story about chip flushing cuz he thought it was funny and it was a total coincidence that it was correct?

I guess that's theoretically possible, in practice seems very improbable.

You just won the internet. Pure genius.

No doubt. I did notice that ABC News didn't include dollar signs in front of the tournament chip values. The same can't be said for other news articles I've seen covering this.

There were rumors of chips in a harrah's toilet way before this guy started posting.

Duuuh. My delivery was better.

Personally I would have headed straight to the boardwalk and dumped them in the ocean.

"The investigation revealed evidence that Lusardi introduced the counterfeit chips into the tournament on multiple occasions, state police Trooper Jeffrey Flynn said. It also was determined that Lusardi won $6,814 during the tournament."
