i dont like this part
"It was not immediately clear what would happen with the entrance fees paid by people who participated in the tainted match. The Borgata said the state ordered "that all unpaid prize money be held in trust until more details and resolution can be determined.""
but i guess money is still gonna be safe, or they will return buyin money to everyone, no? (:

Live poker is rigged. It looks like some of the big $5000 chips were counterfeit, and one source has it, that there are over $1.000.000 in chips to much in circulation. Unlikely that this all was done by one lone cheater.

I don't think they have figured out, who has done it, yet. Hope the busted players get a refund and the few still in the tourney either play it out, or get the price money according to their chipstacks.

I wonder if they will ever get to the bottom of this and announce the names that were involved. I believe they are bound to say who were into this, cause i agree with the above posts that if we are talking for such of an amount of chips, it may be more than one involved.

There is always a chance of cheating anywhere when there is money to be won. I'm glad to see that the casino were being vigilant and caught these people because this will put people off from cheating again. But i doubt it

No one had been caught yet. All the investigators have in their hands at the moment, are the faked chips. All reports show, that these fakes are made rather poorly. Should have been recognized much earlier.

New development. One of the players, that had already busted out, has been arrested. That genius had tried to get rid of the fake ships, by flushing them down the toilet in his hotel room, cloging the system. So it was easy to track him down.
