love these kind of matches and as much as i hate pokerstars and their site i would probably log in to watch some of the action. hopefully they will run this with cards face up as a repeat? does anyone know if they did this for the isldur matchups previously?

Funny how pokernews is profiling a couple of known repeat poker cheats in Sorel "ace up my sleeve" Mizzi and Justin "The Jackal" Bonomonono on an almost weekly basis. Seems strange to me, so many good, honest, and caring people in poker why give these guys any print? Not a fan of either as well as pn.

really enjoying the live feed thanks so much pokernews for carrying it for us to watch! since high stakes poker was the best poker show by far its really great to watch the european version here. i wish this game played every month or every week not once or twice a year! great job by the whole crew, commentators are top of the pops!

I don't like it either, too easy to manipulate and plenty of controversy when something suspicious happens (ala someone makes a donk play and is out first for example). It might work, but in pro sports like nfl or nba those players are told to distance themselves from the "books" and "vegas" in order to remain without suspicion. Imagine if you saw Jerry Jones telling his cowboys they need to win by more than a fieldgoal! That would never fly but here it seems like they have embraced it and give the degens another reason to lose their money and the books to stuff their coffeurs to the max.
Not a fan of this idea bottom line, and as we've seen the poker community is rife with guys who will do whatever necessary to extract a few extra dollars of profit so i dont think this will be good for the game.
One last thing is because the players get a small portion of money booked they are all whoring themselves on twitter and the like to "check it out", so the rich get richer while joe average gets the shaft (as usual).

this whole thing just reeks of corruption, lies, and deception. Terrible step back for online poker and it seems to just get worse and worse.

Joe hachem is a wanker....sorry had to be said.

no one of these arrested will do any type of hard time (ie over 2 years) if they are first time offenders, even for a crime of this type

Davis Sands is one of the best players in the world.....just ask him, he'll be more than happy to tell you!
how do you spell "wanker"?= D-O-C-S-A-N-D-S

should have renamed it "Blodog" since the poker software blows so badly! Does anyone over there even listen to what the players want? i think not.

An why exactly would i even want to frequent a Jamie gold endorsed poker room again? no reason? thats what i thought.

we should replace it with a celebrity poker boxing match. we could have annie duke vs negreanu, lederer vs phil ivey, ferguson vs matusow. This is a million dollar idea folks

not too concerned about this one...

why give another red cent to this crook? everytime i logged into FTP i'd see the double muppeteers of Lederer and Gordon........

daniel you are the larry david of poker....just say whatever you want to whoever you want!
love it

dwan sounds like a rambling fool in this article, like, i mean, like i don't know, like i think they knew, like....
nothing would make me happier than seeing ferguson and lederer do some hard time in a real jail in the good ol' usa.

throw the book at these white collar criminals! They should be doing at least 10 years in my opinion. Unfortuantely we all know that isn't how it works, these guys will never serve any time and the fines/punishment won't fit the crime. Just because they weren't physically in your home stealing from you doesn't mean that's exactly what they were doing. Scumbags! No regulation = people will always end up stealing, it's just human nature

wow that looks to be the biggest piece of shit payout structure i've seen in awhile....who determines the prize payouts? they should be fired for that shit for sure.

here's a fast and steady rule sure to keep you out of a jam like this...."don't lend out money to anyone, period."
guys that barely know him but float him 10k need to give their heads a shake and at least are partially to blame, smooth talker or not i wouldn't lend someone i didn't know anywhere near that kind of cheddar.

Anything in regards to racist Joe Hachem isn't worth reading in my books....
