Sefaje 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 well, he's stupid for going all in with JJ at 2nd in chips against the only player who could knock him outhis 6th place shouldve been at LEAST 3rd, but most likely 2nd or even 1st as i thought he was outplaying the others outside of that hand Link to post Share on other sites

pocket_change 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 It wasn't for his home poker game, it was for an online gambling site that he operated out of his home. They didn't arrest him yet, just seized items they believed were bought with illegal gambling profits.There's an article on cardplayer Link to post Share on other sites
