Remember Jeffrey Pollack?

He presided over some pretty embarrassing times at the WSOP, including the "poker peek" playing card debacle (with his signature on the back of the cards) and the dangerous "poker tent" which blew down in the Vegas summer wind. Also, money was stolen from the prizepool of rebuy tournaments under his watch ("allegedly").

But that doesn't compared to the fail and shady behavior he and Annie Duke engaged in with their Epic Poker League in 2011. Players were promised a $1,000,000 freeroll if they finished in the top 27 spots on the leaderboard. Epic folded early, and they stiffed everyone on the freeroll. Despite this, Annie and Jeffrey still took home salaries well over $300,000.

Now Pollack was just named President of the revived XFL.



Unbelievable how this guy keeps getting work.
