Congratulations to JC Tran for taking down the PartyPoker premiere League III title this past weekend and adding an additional $300,000.00 to his winnings this year. Tran is definitely on a roll. He took down a determined Tony G who was holding the lead for most of their heads up battle but outlasted the Aussie, sending him home with second place and 150K for his efforts. Not too shabby.
60 Minutes and the Washington Post covered the Absolute Poker maybe Utltimate bet cheating stories this Sunday. There have been mixed reviews on the way the story was handled. Some don't like the way some facts were glossed over while others were emphasized. There was mention of interviews with top players that took place during the World Series that some people wanted to see but were not aired.
In the meantime it is questionable how the Kahnawake Gaming Commission will come out looking after all the buzz has settled. However you want to look at it. The truth is out there. The cheating happened. A former WSOP champion was named as one of the primary cheaters in the scandal but not much was mentioned in the stories about him. Who knows how closely the commission is regulating. There is talk of over 80 cheating accounts implicated in the scandal. Both Absolute and Ultimate were purchased by somebody in connection with Kahnawake. What else do you need to know. You take a risk playing on the sites. End of story. If you are concerned, keep your money offline. If online play is working for you, more power to you. Don't be surprised if more stories follow.
