Aussie Matt retained the best lawyer in town by a mile. Tsoukernik is TOAST be shocked if he shows face in Vegas

LOL, there's no chance of that unless he is playing vs people who don't know the rules. I have logged over 150 hours with Matt and there's basically no lineup where he has an edge.

He was so bad in the aussie millions nlh. He tried to be a big lag but basically lost the most when he had nothing and won the least when he had hands. He flopped a straight and insta checked, turned flush checked, got nothing, but punted when he had air.

C'mon, nobody is arguing that Matt is a winning player in any for of poker, but it's better for everyone if he can identify as a "poker pro"

Pretty unfortunate for him then that he gets stiffed by the one guy he (probably?) can beat.

I am not saying that Matt doesnt deserve the money, I think he does

But its not a nice thing to do anyway

person on poker/gambling forum thinks it's not ok to profit off of People spewing... seems legit

If necessary he can pawn watches and pay it in full. But seriously I am thinking how much are two millions compared to his assets: he has something like $1,800,000 from SHRB, but apparently there were some cash games... I have read his year income from casino is around 100 million czk, which is in range $3,5 - 4 millions depend on exchange rate (I don't know how close to reality is this number). But he has half billion czk investment in hotel which he is finishing this year...

poiulkjh *** I laughed at this one surely you are taking the piss.

Leon loved it when Kroc sat down at the PLO game at his Casino and spewed off 210k euro at his FIRST game of PLO, Day 2 not so bad roughly another 100k and I must admit Leon never once looked like he felt sorry for Kroc only himself as Ronny Kaiser seemed to be the lucky player day 1.

I must admit the Rich are always the hardest to get paid from in Business as they use that money a few times over before paying it or just brush it off with the old one well sue me.

Either way as per Yayogate this is only damaging his reputation and that of his Cardroom so I'm assuming he is happy letting it run its course in court.

Leon will probably be able to bargain for a settlement of a decent amount less than the $2 million owing because of the problems Matt would have with collecting on a full $2 million judgment.

Don't think it is possible to be in the Czech Casino Business without some underworld connections..

Think again. A couple of major international casino groups have been operating for over 25 years in Prague and the rest of the country.

Uhh they are trying to brand Kings as the premier destination in Europe for poker.

Leon isn't just the "owner" but also the charismatic face of the casino.

It's definitely bad for them if he gets branded as a scumbag.
