king_tanner 84 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I read this on poker news. I wonder when they say "the remaining prize money will be divided among the players" if they mean just the final table or if other players who played the tourney will get something back. I don't think it is fair to give it just to the final tablists. What do you guys think? I'm glad the guy was caught though, tourney directors need to be more strict on giving out media credentials. The story is below:Partouche Poker Tour Cheating Scandal Back in September, the final tablists of the Partouche Poker Tour took a break, much like the WSOP final tablists took a break in July. In a kind of funny coincidence, both final tables are set to play down to a winner this weekend. What's not so funny, however, is that one player has been disqualified from the PPT final table for cheating.According to MadeInPoker.com, after reviewing the footage, tournament directors have discovered that WPT Barcelona winner, Ali Tekintamgac was cheating using the help of "fake bloggers/reporters, who would look at his opponents hole cards and use hand signals to indicate hands. Tekintamgac was also suspected of cheating earlier this year at EPT Tallinn and was asked to leave by tournament director Thomas Kremser. He has since been disqualified from the PPT Final Table and his chips were removed from the game. As for the final tablists of the PPT this weekend, they are all guaranteed at least eighth-place money of €130,700, and the excess €110,300 will either be divided among the players or given to charity. The final table line up looks a little something like this: Seat 1: Tommi Etelapera - 3,129,000 Seat 2: Soren Kongsgaard - 1,073,000 Seat 3: (empty seat) Seat 4: Ibrahim Raouf - 3,492,000 Seat 5: Cyrille André - 600,000 Seat 6: Raphael Kroll - 2390000 Seat 7: Vanessa Selbst - 3951000 Seat 8: Tobias Reinkemeier - 819 000 Seat 9: Fabrice Soulier - 3652000 A winner will be crowned this weekend and you can check out PartouchePokerTour.com for more Link to post Share on other sites

That is a tough one. Link to post Share on other sites
