I have heard this from a number of players who have played on their cash game stream table in the past. He is not to be trusted.

As I mentioned in the other thread, I don't have any proof and I never played with him personally, but I heard stuff like that from multiple independent sources before, so I'm guessing it's not all made up

Quite a lot of accusations there...maybe you'd like to put your name to them? Elton Tsang did with his, Matt Kirk did too, and Leon Tsoukernik also did so last week.

Typical high stakes poker world drama ....Two scumbags trying to out scumbag each other.

Lawyers gonna win this hand

Why would anyone play against the owner of a casino at his own casino? Especially in a basically law-free country (in that regard) when the owner got his wealth through at best questionable means.

That's just ******ed.

What is Aussie Matt's nickname when he plays a home game in Australia.

SHRB and Tsoukernik v Kirk were in Vegas, Tsoukernik vs Tsang was in Barcelona. Do please keep up.

Interested in the 'law-free' Czech gambling and 'questionable means' though - feel free to enlighten us

As poker players we all know there are only three things that can happen. Win, lose, or chop.

1. Loan LT $3mil, he plays like crap, pays you what he owes you. = win
2. Loan LT $3mil, he makes a come back to even and quits = chop
3. Loan LT $3mil, he gets hot and wins that back plus more = lose
4. Loan LT $3mil, he plays like crap and doesn't pay you back = lose

An old man told me long ago the reason he NEVER loaned, '...why, so they can beat you with your own money?...'

btw, I just remembered the whole thing with Bonomo not showing his hole cards during shr bowl ft stream. Not saying this confirms what thetruth20 is saying, but it would appear that many pros feel the same way about Leon.

reminds me of the one time WPT Turks and Caicos from 2007.

http://www.cardplayer.com/poker-news/2794-rhynie-campbell-wins-wpt-turks-and-caicos-poker-classic

Rynie owned the local casino and provided most or all of the. dealers for this event.

I made a vaca out of this so went down to play.

played cash game in his casino a few days before the event. It was me, Rhynie and a table full of locals. At some point Rhynie talked me into playing heads up. I was having fun and it was for cheeseburgers so really didnt care about the possible obvious angle.

But after a few rounds was pretty clear there was no way I was going win against him playing in his casino with his dealers. so said good night and left. he was just tooooo good and made some crazy thin calls always at the right time.

fast forward to WPT a few days later,

Dude ends up shipping the whole thing for $436,000 on HIS island with HIS dealers a few days later.

Only 137 players so probably just dumb luck / coincidence. dunno.

I did get the enjoyment of stacking Antonio in level 4, bye bye gg, that alone made the whole trip worth it

I remember doug being 4 handed at a final table and someone mentioned that the cards were marked and doug seemed to be like, eh, it's no big deal, lets switch it out... I am too tired now to look for it. This is in the last year I believe, somewhere on a stream. It was a highstakes mtt final table. I definitely may have forgotten exactly what words he used, but I think I'm close. It's interesting if I remembered it correctly, someone will have to help me out and fetch that coverage plz, I have no idea where to start looking. I am hoping someone watched it recently and can find it quickly.

There is just too much money on the line, someone is going to want to win every hand, and all the money. Add in the bots and there is not much money to be made anymore, except for untracked euro sites(obv).

Some people maybe started to believe leons story because Richard Yong backed his story and most people say he is to be trusted, but he must just be another one paid or intimidated from Leon, if I remember correctly he was the same person who introduced Elton tsang into the game that had jungleman and another German pro who Leon had 90% of....

Also it sure sounds like the writer (hedgecock) is backing Leon even though basically everyone else confirms he is a scammer and cheat by many

How much did he pay you to post this article ? Did he threaten your family too ?

Why are you the only one believe him and who think Elton is a criminal ? Lol have you even met him ?

Not to mention that we have seen all the hands from that tourney, and he certainly did not play perfectly. Garbage accusations.

It was the One Drop and you may have completely forgotten more than just the exact words.

Have you ever played a WSOP event? Cards are marked everywhere all the time. No matter if it's one drop or a random $1500 event.

I remember one time somebody complained about marked cards, deck got switched and less than 5 hands later I noticed one of my cards already had a mark and I was thinking "cool, ace" before even looking at them.

Way to go troll! You can't even get ROB Yong's name right (Richard Yong is a completely different person) so why would we think you have anything else worth listening to on this story?

The article was based on the lawsuit and if you bothered to look at my previous articles about Tsang, Kirk and Tsoukernik you'll see they all get their share of 'negative reviews'.

The main thing, though, is you clearly have no idea about anything connected to this case and yet still have an opinion? That's modern humans for you though!

PS. TheTruth20 who posted this week is almost certainly Tsang himself

Ok w/e your views sound very biased and you seem to ignore anything negative about Leon and said before he sent many fiends to you whatever that means lol!!

Elton hosted a card game in Hong Kong which some how makes him as bad as a scammer and a cheat eventhoUgh u have no proof he did anything!! And what’s wrong with Kirk ? Never heard anything negative except from you and Leon!!! Lol

He just wants to get paid the money that was stolen!! Same as Elton...and probably many more
Seriously gtfo

Were you compensated in anyway to write the article ??

Cannot wait for first accusation of Russian meddling.

It's up to Leon Tsoukernik to convince people he isn't at fault/ a scammer/whatever, not me. I may pop over to Rozvadov and interview him and am happy to ask difficult questions of the man.

It's up to Elton Tsang to explain how being convicted of running an illegal cardroom in Hong Kong matches with his 'innocent kid' routine, not me.

It's up to Matt Kirk to explain why he apparently accepted a deal and who it was who told him not to if Leon/Rob Yong's stories are to be believed.

I write and report on whatever takes my or poker fans' interest and I get compensated for every article I write - 984 of them at last count. It's called writing for a living.

Anyway, that's enough time spent on you...if you have something useful to add I'd be very surprised. You come across as a typical troll who has made their mind up about everything already, but I won't be indulging you any further.

Sounds like the WPT Event in 2002 in Costa Rica, where two of the Final 3 players in the Main Event separately would later go on to be sentenced to prison for different frauds, including the host casino owner. (The eventual winner, by far the best player of the three, was neither of the fraudsters.)

Did not play in the event personally, but I eventually played against each of the three on numerous occasions. Fun times in CR.

indeed! i could never understand why hardened criminals like him and rosa parks are given a pass on their despicable crimes.

Yeah, very funny

Are you dumb? avoiding something? or being immature?

To me and anyone else it was clearly obvious that he was asking if you were compensated in anyway by Leon or any company that he is involved with for writing the article.

Also I would ask if not him were you compensated or offered any incentives by anyone else to write an article with a positive bias towards leon?
