the replies in this thread show whats rly going on here.

a bunch of racist nerds try to assume a muslim pokerplayer of cheating.

proof: a media guy taking photos from him.

this is so ridonkolous.. but also very very sad

OK since all of you are so convinced and sure Ali is a cheating scumbag blablabla

I will offer you to attempt to get a skype or msn audio conference with Ali! I will moderate the conference call and you can ask your questions. Ali will answer all questions and prove his innocence. I have not yet reached Ali but i am close to certain he wants to recover from this disgusting attempt to ruin his reputation. How about tommorow 5pm EST.

Ali is not in custody. I just reached him on his mobile phone. He is willing to take part in a conference call under the circumstance that i translate your questions and he can answer in german or turkish. He also wants to make clear that he will not tolerate any racist assaults and will leave the chat if anyone insults his origin.

What will a skype call accomplish?

Everyone will call him a cheat and 3 of you's will deny it....unless he's an honest cheat.

I think the PPP would never disqualify a player if theres no real proof of cheating. that would be the baddest thing ever they could do...

btw i tink also russ hamilton is called a cheater, cause he is a muslim!!

Ali is playing poker at the moment in a german casino that doesnt ban you because you beat the game. He says he will be home late and would prefer a conference call in the later evening. He said 18:00 CET would be fine for him because he will go to the casino at 20:00 CET. I hope he can clear things up. He has a lot of interesting facts. If you guys have the decency to hear his voice instead of just listening to the media rants be our guest. I will invite you to the skype call and give you the details tomorrow.

So the Germans are racists but yet, they're famous over there and hence have a team of German journalists cover them.
To do what, expose them as cheaters?

Ali also asked me to write the following and i quote (translated):

"I am an innocent and honary man. I never cheated at poker and never will do so. I ask the moderators of the forum to change the topic to: Cheating Scandal Accusation: WPT Barcelona winner disqualified before the PPT final table". I hope the moderators will do so because this would be a very fair gesture." End Quote.

If he was innocent he'd be making a much bigger storm about losing 100k+euros plus clearly his efforts prove his guilt.

no. he will explain his thoughts to the Q5 hand and he will explain why there are media guys who report in their blogs about almost every hand ali plays.

there is such a huge muslim community and everyone is interested in how ali performs.

he is their hero. and he is def. not a cheater.

Ali has contacted a lawyer and is going to do everything he can to prove his innocence. He is not in poker for the money but for the fame and passion. He will enter the press conference tommorow via skype with his lawyer aside him. He has already tried to reach numerous german poker journalist sites but they will not publish his announcements. This is why he hopes the publishers of PokerFirma Pokerolymp and Pokerblatt will also join the conference, instead of only reporting the accusations of the Tournament Directors.

When has he been contacted by Partouche concerning this matter ?

Cause I don't think I would be able to grind at my local casino after being wrongly accused of cheating : I couldn't even think properly that my only choice would be to hit a party and get wasted.

1. Does the Fat-Blogger ("FB") hang out at his table right from the start of the tourney and stay there?

2. Does FB always position himself across the table from Ali?

3. Does Ali always wear massive sunglasses so he can shift his gaze without drawing attention?

4. Was his "friend" who won the high-rollers event also wearing huge shades?

5. Does he always keep his cell-phone on the table like that (in the Youtube clip)?

6. Reference was made to Ali cheating in cash games earlier in this thread. Was FB (or someone else) present there too?

bump for relevance
