A few days ago a hacker managed to overtake Jon "Pearljammer" Turner girlfriend's Full Tilt account. His girlfriend, Tracey "XTraCey" Nguyen had about $30,000 and a lot of player points in the account. The hacker lost all of the cash by going all in every single hand on a $25/$50 NL Holdem table. Turner could just stand beside and watch when all the money was lost, and at the same time the hacker [...] Read more » Full Tilt: Red Pro's girlfriend hacked

man, that's rough as. Sounds like a personal vendetta against the guy, not his gf. Which may make it easier to trace, even if he used some random wifi it was presumably in his city/town which means once that much was determined you could match that against players that'd lost big $ to him recently, try and find a match somewhere.. see if a player abused him and was from same location hacker traces to. Although, if they were smarter and re-routed there IP via proxies and such and basically bounced the signal to another country or something, then gl.

well what i think about this - going all in with every hand. simply he/she had his account at the same table also. not to draw attention, he/she just went all in all the time and grabbed some of that cash most certainly!

Is anyone reading that chat correctly, to me it looks like jon was playing his girlfriends account, figure out how it looks, It says its his fault like she was playing and they had previously got in argument be4 this even started so she tossed all the money in her account away to piss him off, he says he puts the money on her account, reminds me of the wsop when they were talking to one of the pros at there home and he had 10 laptops in a circle of stands at different levels and why for is that as you can do the math, something is really fishy about this situation but thats just my opinon which we are all entiltled to are own, Im not saying he did anything wrong but the cheating by some of the top players goes a little to far sometimes, always be careful and remember the table you are on is not the only table on the site and switch if you think something is wrong be4 you regret it

Hacked? How do you 'Hack' these accounts? If someone got into the FTP database, why go for this dude? Wouldn't a hacker go for, say Ivey's account? Or Benyamine? Surely those guys have hundreds of thousands, so why go for 30K? I think Turner, or his girlfriend, let one of their friends play for them, and got screwed. I seriously doubt this was a random incident.

Prehaps FTP might use this as indication to improve their customer support. Shouldn't be difficult to hire more staff with a company as big as FTP. Anything urgent need in Pstars is usually reponded immediately. For instance, players playing the FT in tourney wish to chop the prizepool will have to email pstar support and someone will come within a minute.

this whole strory is bs.if only hisgirlfriend sucked as much as she sucks at poker he would have saved 30k.a pro is only 100 for an hour inmy country so thats a real waste.

Someone has good writing skills. It cant be true. Why rob Pearljammed girl, when theres Ivey, Gus, Patrick and other guys who have instead of 30k millions in their account.
If someone is going to pull this trick in full tilt, I hope he goes for Brian Townsends account. tht little fker deserves to lose whole his br
