"They discussed with me what my opinion was and I think they are doing the right thing. I chalk it up more to inexperience than malicious intent but it sure is nice to see this."
By the way in the email and answerphone message, Genting didn't give actual figures. But there's nothing to suggest they won't be reimbursing the full amount of £34,400 to the winning players, and the same again to the dealers.
Can anyone tell me, did this issue affect any of the side events, or was the vig there all above board?
I was there reporting on Viktor Blom aka Isildur1. I just uploaded a video of him getting knocked out in 16th place then refusing to give an exit interview:
if i was blom id think about getting you clipped. Like he's a young kid who doesnt want people to treat him differently, maybe his parents are anti-gambling, he's winning and losing quietly, and then theres you tracking him down like a predator for the big poker scoop. He's 19 and doesnt want the glam life so gtfo imo.
Having said that, your articles are well written, but im actually rooting for you not to find him.
If he wants to keep quiet, there are bigger names with louder voices than mine shouting his name out from the rooftops- like Tony G and FullFlush!
