Would you say that other people who were playing 24 tables were cheating? What about the people that joined tables and told people to fold? What about people who timed down until milestone hands were arriving? In a case like this, there needs to be a clear rule as to what is acceptable and what is not.
And personally I do believe that this rule should be added (not being allowed to do this), however it wasn't there [specifically], the players did it, and others could've as well. It would be extremely unreasonable for PokerStars to take the money off the winners.
bro, your arguments ITT are pretty weak.
The rule is vague so that stars can use reasonable judgement in determining whether someone if following the spirit of the promotion, without providing loopholes.
Stars has always shown itself in the past to be very reasonable with these types of situations, generally coming down against the angleshooters/colluders.
I assume that's what will happen here, because the winners weren't
playing poker.
