Interesting article I came across this morning

http://www.pokernews.com/news/2015/06/alleged-10k-heads-up-championship-cheater-denies-all-21773.htm
When somebody doesn't believe me, I could care less. Some get totally bent out of shape when not believed. Weird. I believe very little on all forums

There have definitely been AP roulette players in the past. Some probably still exist today.

It wouldn't surprise me if an out-of-the-way casino somewhere in Europe was using less-than-balanced wheels. AP is easy if the game isn't fair to begin with.

Its pretty hard to cheat when your hole cards are exposed to the viewers. Any funny moves are caught instantly.

And its even harder to mark cards, when there are about 2 or 3 TV camcorders pointing at you.

If anyone is indeed cheating, I would say the dealer is the most likely.

Is this event televised? I'd guess that it's recorded but I'm not sure.

If this game was for only $10,000 it probably was not televised. There are a whole slew of minor games in additional to the famous one. You'll recall the WSOP game where a player folded a four of a kind was not televised either so we'll never know if his opponent had the straight flush.

WSOP.com live streams most of the final tables. But this incident supposedly happened before hand.

On a similar note, many players are complaining about the card manufacturer and how easily the cards are marked. You can Google it for various articles.

Good poker room managers let the dealers vote on card manufacturers and don't try to trim pennies from such critical areas.

Damn! I never get it right when I'm in a rush.
Don't think it's possible to tickle oneself.
But you can make yourself laugh out loud.
Careful where you do it though, people are looking at me now....

This was one of championship events and was a $10,000 buy-in. That is top buy-in including the main event except for a few specialty events. According to the article the cards were checked after the complaint and no marks were found. If that is true it should be the end of it. Probably just some of the new young guns that can't believe they can be beat.

I'm sure he was banned at roulette for
using visual ballistics. They're real
sensitive in EU to people staring at
the wheel for a long time and then
making winning bets.
