Quote of the day from the subsequent winner of $40k or whatever who was frustrated at the delay.....

"My hourly is taking a big hit in this tourney"

Surely "u can check if he is a human later" is funnier. I'm quite happy to play against a computer that's likely making better decisions than I, rather than claiming a win for first prize in full...

Don't think stars will ever admit to it being a bot even if it is apparent that it's true.

The comment (assuming nothing has been doctored) by the Stars Rep "but only humans can click the deal option" was either the dumbest comment of all time, or a dreadfully timed attempt at humour. 

Either way, I would imagine he'll be in receipt of a "come see me in my office first thing Monday" from a Higher Up.

a "meeting without coffee" was the expression in the old days  (here's me telling tikay what the old days were like...) I think borrowed from the military.

PokerStars assures players that a bot was not playing heads-up in a TCOOP event. http://ow.ly/XGhJW
