Wow, just played with him a few weeks ago. Nice guy, good player.

Blows my mind that your only response is to once again nitpick a tournament over something. Disrespectful AF IMO.

RIP Matt

Very sad RIP. Hope they catch the b.

Damn I ran deep with him in the CPC Main and saw him a few times around the MSPT scene. RIP.

I was commenting on another post. More respectful to take chips out of play after moment of silence imo. Wasn't nitpicking.

That's terrible

So it begins. LV media is the nut low.

That is scary ****. 3 years ago I was in Vegas wirh my family and gf. We went to a comedy show at a casino on the strip. My gf had just two drinks and could barely walk about 30 min after the show ended. She was clearly drugged. I do not understand the motive since she was with me and my family, so I assume someone put it in the wrong drink. Be careful guys, Vegas is full of people who want to take your money or rape you.

first let me say RIP very sad story

in the summer its the fishing season for scammers in vegas, poker players are in town

You have to be very careful about who youre dealing with

wow. there have been a lot of these kinds of stories it seems like it would be a good idea for casinos to have the same kinds of cameras they have over the roulette and craps tables directly over the bars and drinking areas to prevent this from happening. of course their money is not at stake so i would not count on it happening anytime soon.

Matty was my friend and I'm so heart broken and sad over this. No one really sees a situation like this coming and it's so hard to think of the perfect way to handle such a situation ahead of time. The WPT, I feel, did the best they could in that moment. Allen is a kind person but a bit blunt at times and has his own opinion but always willing to listen and discuss solutions. I think since Matty loved poker and worked so hard to make day 2, instead of blinding him out, they could ( I'm not saying should cuz its just my thought) have let one of his friends who never registered the event play his stack and allow his family the opportunity to live out their son's last tournament and winnings given to the family. I'm not the best with words but I hope I got my thought across.

They let the Australian woman's husband sub for her in the Aussie Millions.

Everyone in Vegas right now should definitely be a little more careful

Definitely a hustle gone wrong, more than likely GHB as well. Relatively tasteless and can be very dose sensitive given the varying consistency of strength from batch to batch. Hope they catch them and they get charged for murder. Absolute scum.

This happens a lot in Vegas. My friend was drugged and robbed by two girls last year. Even if the dosage doesn't cause an OD, being left unconscious can obviously led to problems causing death. Don't trust any girl hitting on you in Vegas.

Such a tragic story, hopefully there will be some justice. Hopefully girls running this scam will realize how dangerous it is and another life isnt needlessly lost. R.I.P condolences to friends and family.

This hits close to home. He was from a town 45 minutes from me, hung out with some of my friends. Never got a chance to talk to him and always wanted to discuss poker with him sometime. Rip matt

Had no idea the hooker + GHB thing was actually common. Even scarier to have it done unsuspectingly when you think you're scoring with some chick from the club.

****s crazy.

Is that why Caesars filed for bankruptcy? Because they just have billions of dollars sitting around but decided to stiff their debt holders anyway?

The thought of a good looking woman seducing a man to solely drug him and rob him is truly evil imo. There is an unsaid rule about not hitting a woman, and I agree, but in this instance I genuinely feel she deserves every bit of violence that may come her way after.

Truly grotesque.

RIP Matthew.

Vegas seems to be a unsafe place. Especially scary if they coordinate targets with bouncers.

In Asia, the mafia keeps the streets clean. No wonder dares to do ****. It's bad for business.

gross. just.... money. vegas. money. sickening.

rip

That is absolutely gross, that coroner is potentially letting a murderer walk free if this young man was drugged.

Well, that sucks.
