The truth will be out tomorrow

[DTD-ACES]

Hi all , to all those that believed in me before i have told you my side of events i thank you , to those that have been derogotary or threatened me i hope you have the humility to apologise .

The reporter that wrote the story contacted me admitting he screwed up by not verifying the details , i met him at the Rio , told exactly what happened , showed him the reactions here and through my mail and he then verified my story with Huck Seed and tournament director Johnny Groom , tomorrow the truth will be published on ESPN.COM and i will then copy and paste it to all forums involved , i expect to be fully vindicated and i now have to consider my position as regards the deffamation of my character .

Today, Simon talked to me man to man about it which I appreciate. He said, "I took that long, possibly four minutes, because I thought it might be the only way to get a world class player to call." I told him I disagreed with him as to what was acceptable.

He said the good news is his website is getting more hits than ever. The bad news is that people are theatening to kick his teeth in. And worse news is that his daughter was crying and afraid. I told him to tell his daughter that poker players settle their differences at the poker table, not with violence. Too bad all differences aren't settled that civilly.

As for Martin Aigner: I offered to bet Peter Costa about the time if we checked surviellance cameras I offered to bet over 2 1/2 minutes, though I think it was around five. Peter said he didn't know who Martin was. Peter said he told Simon he was wrong and he thought that length of the stall was ridiculous. Martin owes the group an apology for his fabrication.

The Martin Aigner bit is i think a misread from Barry, i think he misunderstood Martin saying he'd asked Peter Costa about the time.
One thing stands out here though, Barry says "I offered to bet over 2 1/2 minutes, though I think it was around five", not exactly 10 minutes is it??,

and again what stands out is there was no call for the clock and therefore its all speculation after the fact. Also people who post "hate or malicious" stuff on blogs or sites really have no respect or credibility in life in general.

I have to say utmost respect to Simon for having the class and intelligence to speak directly to those concerned first and not get involved in petty slanging matches.

congratulations on your play and being a man of honesty and integrity
