This sounds utterly rediculous. Hopefully something gets done about it for sure.

Hopefully Binger spreads the words and this hits with other pros and they just all avoid it. Sketchy tourney

wow...

i mean, this really doesnt surprise me, sadly.

With what comes huge soft fields in France, also comes a huge unprofessionalism and a total ignorance to the rules of the game.
Pretty sure the french government trying to keep the money within the country, just like online. Imagine how many millions of dollars has gone out of the country via poker.
Sidetracking, i hope this situation can be completely publicised and get into magazines and reviews, the lot. its a ****ing outrage.

Just terrible, but thanks for outing the info.

So is this ultimately overseen by the government? Is there a French gaming commission or something equivalent to report this to?

the "unknow" player is an italian friend of mine which has post the same story on the italian poker sites and forums... this is really unreal..
***** sick.. btw a huge thanks to Binger and u! this ****s must be reveal all around..

I'm the guy in question is not French which was absolutely robbed the tournament and the CPS, I am absolutely furious x happened ... is unreal what is happening to partuche, another fact absurd, there was a bathroom right after the hurdles of Maine, a boy who is playing the French side of 1500 goes to the bathroom safely, even when I ask the guard to go to the bathroom they xke is near, he forbids me access after I make them see the difference in treatment, he says he is part of the organization, after they cn tell me who is playing the tournament and why has a shirt that says partuche nn is part of the organization, he answers that are not my own and I prohibit access,
then the fact of the CPS, 3 players to defend from the point of taking a suspension, infinitely ringrazzio the boy who was disqualified and I hope to meet as soon as possible to thank him for what he did and could drink a beer to face the French. .. nation of idiots ...
among other things the Floorman spoke English very well ... and said we had to speak French because the tournament was in France. unreal.
eventually gave the pot to the opponent and I have given back all in the river-7k in hand I start with 41k cn HVG 28 at the end I found myself with 26k really unreal what happened.
renewal thanks to the guy who defended me and the coach cardrunners, I hope you do not ever come true one more thing, if these are the stimuli that should push a guy like me 19 years to continue to grind and play for profit, maybe I'm wrong profession ... greetings hello
my skype mustapha.kanit
(boy I've defended if I would be happy to contact a private thank you!)

wow...just wow...this is a very important thread and needs to be cross-posted in MTTc-Live (and maybe even NVG) so that more people get to see it, and hopefully more player boycott this place in the future

i wouldnt call it cheating but a whole bunch of the staff had no idea what was going on. i do agree they were treating the locals much better than everyone else though

Was at the table with the Danish pro who was at 43k before dinner. I was late from dinner and wasn't at the table for the 20k pot he supposedly won. I have played with him before and he seems very legitimate. He counted his stack after the pot he won and was still at 43k. I remember before dinner he had 30k-35k in 5k chips. I assume someone just picked up 2 of them and pocketed it. I also will never be coming back here to ever play again. They can manipulate anything however they want to.

This statement is sort of contradictory. If all the rulings favor the locals, that's not really due to ignorant/uninformed staff.

this. It seems like a case of ignorance, coupled with bias. They were probably so ignorant they didn't even realize how obvious they were being.

Still really sketchy and people should know, but the title is a tad misleading.

the title isnt misleading at all

google translate?

yea... google... sry i dont speak english wery well to write a message complete.

thank god at least one person has a clue

PM

ABSURD

"un" means 1 not 0

.

Not even a tad?

this is why the td staff need to be regulated by somebody like matt savage for all over 5k usd buyins

This is so disgusting. I feel terribly for everyone who got cheated out of massive amounts of equity in this tournament. Really absurd that this **** is allowed to go on.

to be fair it sounds like it could probably use the addition of "definitely at least incompetent but not yet proven to be absolutely crooked staff" somewhere in the title

You should not feel bad it's very admirable that you took the time to come to this site and tried to convey to the best of you're ability what happenend in this forum's language even though it is not your own. Crazy that tournaments for this much money can be run this way.

This is really ridiculous. I guess their thinking is that the french players will be back to gamble.
