I would be really surprised if the number of hands that corresponds with 7 hours of playing (lets say 160) would only have a 1% probability to be +10 bets.

Unless they have some evidence that something shady was going on then this is pretty stupid of them. I can't imagine high rollers are going to be queuing up to play at the casino that doesn't pay big winners.

Really? Never in the history of gambling has a player found an edge in these games? Makes it even worse that they questioned his win. Learn something new every day...

Agree and strongly agree (to the point that it's a ridiculous statement) depending on particulars. I haven't read it closely but does it say he was flat betting his limit every hand? Did they list the limit on longer shot bets? I mean you're up almost 10 units if you bet tie your first hand and hit it.

If he's gambling at those stakes at a skill free game, surely its only a matter of time before he goes busto, you'd think he'd stick to the stuff where he as a little edge at least,unless there is some truth in what the casino's claiming.

Ridic part of this is that he brought 1m pounds to the table. So the dollar amounts sound huge, but a win of 7m is not even that ridiculous. Add to the fact that Ivey is a known degen, and this situation is stupid.

Genting have they thought this through, probably not, the -ev on this is huge.Who wants to play in a joint that will not pay out.Back when, the Gaming board would be looking into this with a potential loss of the casino license at stake.The next few weeks should make interesting reading

" Although he is a respected figure in the poker world, casinos regard him as a ‘hit and run’ gambler, with a tendency to ‘quit after just a few hands if he wins big’. "
