Very interesting story, check out the video at the 0:26 mark and you see his spotter in action. Pretty ballsy to try it these days with the amount of cameras.

So is that reporter legit and he paid him or was he never a reporter at all?

Is it possible the "spotter"'s actions were a coincidence?

wow, that is sick

If it was a coincidence, there will be proof, all we can do is sit and wait!

What a coincidence, I just watched "Rounders" again last night. I would think that everyone would rough him up if he wasn't in a televised game.

Reminds me of a winner of the british version of who wants to be a millionaire where his wife would cough to reveal which answer was correct when the presenter announced the answers.

Pretty sad people stoop to such a low degree to be honest.

I highly doubt it since the article describes this particular signal to be the exact hand of his opponent. The article also points out that he's been suspected and even ousted in certain arenas due to suspicion. This video is pretty convincing proof and I'm sure there's plenty more. Sure, he still could have lost the hand, but the call was a lot easier knowing he had an advantage.

So why is someone banned from every casino in Germany allowed on the WPT?

Excellent question. Pretty amazing to be honest. This is the kind of stuff you see in movies, not on the WPT.

It says he was banned in the past, not that he is still banned.. at least that's how I read that. IMO once banned for cheating why let him back? That to me makes no sense. Also they were probably watching the "reporter" for more than just that hand.

ouch, I bet that one stings

Glad this guy was caught, hopefully Sc2 stays clean on the highest levels for quite some time.

why didnt he have his entourage sttanding behind him like the german guy did?.

Would of eliminated any chance of a spotter behind him, or better yet, hold his cards closer like your supposed to at a table, you only need to see the top edge, which from a standing angle you wouldnt be able to see

they stated that he was caught after closely viewing the tapes "on the road to" the final table. There were several spotters, this was a criminal operation.
