Remember the $2 million poker feud between Leon Tsoukernik and Matt Kirk? Click here to refresh your memory about the details.

A Las Vegas judge did not believe a lawsuit filed by a casino owner that says a casino located on the Las Vegas Strip took advantage of him.

According to a report by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, on the final week of February this year, Clark County District Court Judge Linda Bell tossed Leon Tsoukernik’s countersuit against the Aria casino and Aussie poker pro Matt Kirk.

In a high-stakes poker game last year, Tsoukernik lost $3 million to Kirk, but he only paid Kirk $1 million. This pushed Kirk to sue for the unpaid amount, leading to Tsoukernik later filing his own lawsuit, alleging that the casino plied him with alcoholic drinks.

It could be a good plot for the next Ocean’s 11 sequel, but then again, maybe not.

According to police, last week, a man from Oklahoma was arrested at a Tulsa casino for allegedly faking his own kidnapping, in the aim of collecting ransom payments from his wife and friends.

Jonathon Michael Davis, age 34, of Owasso, Oklahoma, had not come home for three days since February 27 when his wife reported him to be missing. According to the wife, she received text messages from her husband’s cellphone on March 1, supposedly from her husband’s kidnapper.

The messages from the ‘kidnapper’ demanded that money must be deposited into a PayPal account.

Owasso police Deputy Chief Jason Woodruff said, “One message showed a photo of a broken finger and said that ‘they were going to continue breaking fingers until they pay’.” The ransom amount was $375.
