Did Paul Zimbler have any defence to the accusation I've read a million times about the missing charity money ? Nevermind all the other shit!

Edit: I wasn't asking just to start round 2 of the Zimbler bashing btw, just if the repeated accusations I've read are true, which I didn't want to just assume were, then I think it's diabolical and an absolute joke that reputable places/tours are asking him to do work for them, really ?

He refutes it, the repeated accusations obviously aren't proven to be true.

The points italicised and then in bold that you wrote come awfully close to making this point "I never said he personally shouldn't be welcomed," that you then wrote a bit moot

I repeat I don't know either way about it all, I keep an open mind and I assume this what people using Paul for poker work are doing

You just ignored the bit were I said "if the repeated accusation I've read are true" ?

No, I know that

I said "you come awfully close" to making assumptions. That may be too harsh, I'm not trying to dig at you

Other people, especially on 2+2, go way beyond that and in this way the mud slinging becomes accepted fact

It may be fact, but we don't know

[mondatoo]

I pretty much never read 2+2 as it seems that's all that goes on over there.

Anyone can make accusations about anbody for there own purpose and it doesn't take long for that to get way out of hand especially on the internet and innocent people can end up getting crucified so I'm not a fan of just accepting something I hear or read on the internet to be true. I think the charity thing happened a good while ago before I followed anything to do with poker so I was mostly just curious to whether it was public knowledge about the true facts of what had happened.

[The Camel]

The only thing which isn't in dispute from the charity thing is Paul Z took money from Betfair to sponsor the whole thing and then proceeded to get sponsored himself by FTP, for the reward of playing several high buyin tournaments.

Maybe not the shadiest thing ever, but pretty unethical in my book.

[smashedagain]

Funnily enough I made a play on the live table which I have made only 3 times before in tournaments.

It needs pretty precise conditions to run it, which were fulfilled today.

It has worked every time I've tried it and worked agian today.

Certainly wouldn't want people seeing it as I've not seen anyone else try it.

[pleno1]

Asides from zimblers Trustworthiness the fact they all get him for every yor just seems really really weird. Maybe there is a current demand for poker commentators in the uk

[TightEnd]

Of course there is. Whether it is the D 4 Events team at the GUKPT, the NutsTV team, Andy Booth's RFID tables at the GPS or the technology that has gone into DTD the majority of UK tours and events have put significant resources into streams and webcasts most of which have a commentary requirement

It’s been a very eventful second day thus far at the EPO2012. Only 19 players remain in the hunt for the £78,660 top prize out of the original 63 runners that began Day 2.
 
Poker star Sam Trickett is the latest player to bust out after he lost a big hand to Jamie Roberts. Trickett slow-played his pocket rockets in a three-handed pot where the flop was dealt -5s-2h. Chris O’Donnell (-9d) led out with an 8k raise, Sam called, and Jamie Roberts (-2c) raised to 34k with his set; O’Donnell folded while Trickett called. The turn came out , which prompted Roberts to bet 52k and Trickett to call, thus putting him all-in. A meaningless fell on the river, which gave Roberts a massive 209k pot and put him atop the chip count with 504,300.
 
Rhys Jones is also doing pretty well with 269,200 chips after winning a big hand against Andrew Hulme. Following a flop of -6s-5c, Hulme (-9c) bet 14k, which Jones (-7c) called. A turn of prompted Hulme to bet 37.6k, and Jones called once again. The river card of gave both players flushes, but Jones had the nut flush. Andrew was still the aggressor when he bet 48.4k, and Jones called for a third time to collect the 234,100 pot.

      1st  £78,660
      2nd £49,690
      3rd  £35,880
      4th  £28,290
