Vanessa Selbst wins Partouche Poker Tour (1,3 million Euro)

Tags: Ali Tekintamgac, Partouche Poker Tour, Vanessa Selbst.
Posted on 10 November 2010 by "T".

After a quite long break, just like the 2010 WSOP Main Event, the final table of the prestige filled Partouche Poker Tour was played last weekend. It ended up being the American Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst who survived a field of 7 opponent and laid hands on the first prize of €1,300,000. Now you might wonder why the final table only included 8 players. The reason for this is that one of the players was disqualified from the tournament.

Ali Tekintamgac, the WPT Barcelona winner, has for a long time been accused of cheating, but no one has ever been able to prove anything - until a few days ago. The tournament crew went through video clips from the beginning of the tournament and found out that Tekintamgac had used false media representatives and bloggers to help him with information on his opponents hole cards. Let's just hope, for Ali Tekintamgac's own sake, that he wasn't cheating at WPT Barcelona as well.

If the tourney is televised a friend can watch the hole cards and give him the info. Modern electronics allow the communication.

wow that just blows my mind.....but as I am sure that there are players, that right now on the major sites are cheating, for ex....on pokerstars theres these certain players that some how know what you have or can some how know that what cards will be played next hand.......if this guy could cheat this way,then I am sure that at most sites there are players with these programs that can do this......call me paranoid......but come on I am sure that YOU have seen things that are just weird that happen on these sites,at there tables that .....you just got too wonder about...like maybe one player go's all in pre-flop,with aa and another calls with 25 off and hits a full or 2 pr and does this all most every time and wins maybe it just lucky...maybe...its just to weird for me......but I will still and always play online cause not every one does these things or can do them....and theres just too many fi$h in the ocean......not to eat up like the fi$hy'$, they are.....heheee

This man winning this looks like a female Big Smile Big Smile

Ali T. was eliminated as it seems a friend of him was there as a blogger , trying to see holecards from other players and give signs.

BUT the really worse and sick thing is, the same shit with this guy happend in Tallin before, AND only the blogger was banned from the tournament, not the cheater...

and there is another youtube video, showing the same thing at Barcelona HU

Wow, to get caught cheating and have it publicized in front of the media like that, what a bonehead. Should be banned for life. I have no pity for this crap. There have been times I did not play at certain tables because I suspected collusion between certain players - it is definitely happening out there.

Vanessa's really starting to show off her poker prowess, good show!

Dont be naive, my friend. Gambling is easy money and there will always be cheaters in any gamble. Poker, lotto, bingo, lottery, you name it. All of this are easy money, so people will try everything to take the money. Even cheating.
