Genting to repay £70,000 to WPT London players & dealers!

[Skgv]

Forgive me if this question has already been answered, but what happened to the £200's?

Phil Ivey blew it on the craps table.

Now you are a normal jack the lad with no gukpt responsibilities you can make wise cracks ?

Anyone know anything more about this matter? It has all gone quiet on the 2+2 thread as well; Matt Savage posted that he was looking into it... and then nothing. It feels like it is being hushed up.

Rest assured this matter is far from going away.

Merging with original thread

Sick merge



Has anyone been sacked for this? Surely someone has to be punished/take the blame for being a thieving lying shit?

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?

2 events including the high roller were clearly advertised as having this deduction for cardroom staff so there's presumably still a fair bit of money floating around that's owed to dealers

I wish I'd realised that descartes was darcus, I would've flamed him if I'd known. glad he's got a result though, he's a good guy

"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."

Gotta say, despite the mistakes made, when all said and done, you gotta be impressed with the conclusion to this saga.
It seems Genting are making a real effort to get a foothold in the poker market and events like the Players Championship with 10K added and their online offers have certainly got my attention.

I was actually lucky enough to be sponsored into the WPT event in question and gotta say it was the most amazing structure ive ever played in and the organisation and atmosphere at the Palm Beach was excellent imo.

Has the Palm Beach Poker Room Manager lost his job over this?
