This is exactly what poker needed then. Someone to get caught so this does not get ignored anymore. The poker boom has been achieved with the help of media and exposure, but perhaps allowing crowds to stand that close is not in the interest of the game. Reputable reporter or not.

Frenchnoob..

commentary

What I saw:
On the videos, day 4 and 5, I saw him take 2
pictures and it notes virtually no shot.
The only time we see or note in a notebook,
is in Cyprus.
Each time, he was in the field
close to a camera, it moves away.
He was not interested in either the feature table, or
the other table to the right of the photo or there was Selbst
and Soulier (french player).
80% of the time, he stayed in front of the table of Ali
. When Ali is at the feature table on the stage, he
no longer in the right corner of the photo and we do
shooter not see the main table.
When Ali returned to its original table, it is
there again, but it will be embarrassed by a camera Partouche
which is always beside Fabrice Soulier. and
security.
When there are only two tables, there are too many
cameras and security guards


My conclusion:

I expect to watch on days 2 and 3, for
a final opinion.
But I think a blogger photographer
experience, having covered the WPT Cyprus
Tallinn EPT, WPT Barcelona
he is pretty bad. ...or he is not just a blogger.

There are enough pics of Fat Blogger ITT and elsewhere that certainly we should be able to determine his real name, no?

Who is this character?

Determining who he is, and just what his relationship is to Ali & crew will go a long way toward determining culpability.

Would be very wary about posting real names of someone whos guilt still is not certain... Just saying.
I mean, for all we know he could just be a rail-bird who happens to be of a stature that one notice in a crowd hence easy to spot in pictures.

Ofcours, that being said, the whole ordeal seems pretty darn sketchy and from photos and the tube video I lean towards that he in fact is guilty.... Lifeban+prison+repayAllWinnings+publicHumiliaton is a proper punishment imo.

The photographer has already been identified as Edmund Buiac-Cazacu.

Well, its the internet allright. Didnt actually think that he would stay under the nick FB for ever anyhows. On the bright side, doubt he will appear on any pics from any major events in the future lol.

Yup, a railbird who is permitted full access to the final table, through the ropes and right on top of the players with credentials and a camera.

The more I see of this, the more it seems pretty clear these people are actually cheating. At first, it seemed a little far-fetched, but now, I gotta say, it looks pretty bad.

Thank you!

Pokerb00m.eu unterhält den Firmensitz laut eigenem Impressum in der Heimatstadt Bukaras, Nürnberg. Das der Eigentümer der Seite, Edmund Buiac, auch noch auf Facebook mit Bukara befreundet ist und die Homepage sich scheinbar ohne jedwede Werbung finanziert hat, vervollständigt das Bild. Perica Bukara und Ali Tekintamgac sind zu den meisten Turnieren gemeinsam angereist, in dem ominösen Video der WPT Barcelona ist Perica Bukara der erste Gratulant an Alis Seite und Insider haben uns bestätigt, dass Bukara ohne Unterstützung das High Roller Event auf Zypern wohl nicht gespielt hätte.

hOCHGEPOKERT is speaking about Buiac not Buiac-Cazacu.



Edmund Buiac-Cazacu is german too ,but are we sure that is the same man.?


by the way , very good job for the woman !

I invite Alexandra Johnson and Edmund Buiac-Cazacu to post any information that they have in this thread.

Apparently , they are sponsoring german players

i guess the chick has nothing to do with this.

ali got discriminated against and the poor guy couldn t stand to get bluffed so he just had to cheat. also his former match teacher was bad and didnt discover alis giftedness so ali couldn t learn all that math at school he would have otherwise easily mastered and he would have completely and utterly dominated the fields. ali had no choice!

Edmund & Ali both gave statements about the accusations. They both declared to be innocent;

- Edmund got in contact with German UB-Pokerplayer Marc Gork via email to declare his innocence ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaFHdiHlI3A )

- Ali gave an interview with german pokernews-site pokerfirma.de ( http://www.pokerfirma.de/news/ali-te...nterview/68326 )
