    Just wanted to see what was up today, and the pokernews livefeed had an interesting message.

    Event 1: Play Suspended for 24 Hours

    Tournament officials have suspended play in the $2 Million Guaranteed Big Stack No-Limit Hold'em event here at the Borgata Winter Poker Open.

    A resolution should be reached by tomorrow, after the conclusion of a 24-hour joint investigation by Borgata officials and the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (NJDGE), said Joe Lupo, Senior Vice President of Operations for Borgata.

    "We have reason to believe the tournament was compromised," Lupo said. "There's nothing more important than ensuring the integrity of the tournament. All other tournaments are moving forward with full confidence."


    I have a good friend there I am waiting to hear back from, but he wrote one thing, "Borgata Winter Circus"

    Sounds like some crazy chip dumping, something scammy went down. All spec obv, but stay tuned, something interesting in the poker world developing it seems.

    No joke my friend just tweeted me back, honestly not ever sure if he is joking but he said

    Put in to event 1. They paused day 3 for 24 hours to investigate and identify culprit. Men the master"

    "Men the master busted last night in 28th place right before they bagged for the nihht"

    Here's one of the fake chips. TWO RACKS of these were smuggled in. It boggles the mind that this wasn't caught sooner.

    May not be Men, unless he is playing it cool, or been told by Borgata/officials not to leave the Borgata Property. Friend just said

    "Lol just saw men. He's looking for his seat in today's tourny"

    We shall see. Surely all eyes are on him.

    Woah apparently the AP just ran story.

    http://bigstory.ap.org/article/fake-...-poker-tourney

    ""The Division of Gaming Enforcement and New Jersey State Police are aware of a situation involving counterfeit chips," said Lisa Spengler a spokeswoman for the gaming enforcement division. "The matter is currently under investigation." She declined further comment.


    Somebody is going to jail, and most likely will be banned from A.C and every other MGM/Boyd property in the world. If it was Men surely Borgata would have ruled him out rather quick, not saying it isnt, but my freind said hes seated and playing right now in front of hundreds of other players.

    That place would literally erupt if Men was handcuffed and detained for cheating.

    there were over 4,800 entries and you think Men is the only person who would try something like this?

    If the rumors are correct and they are all 5k chips that would be two racks, pretty sure it's going to turn out to be a group of about 20 players all adding chips here and there. Easiest way imo would be when you sit at a new table.

    Also, the chances the cameras catch anything are pretty slim. tourney's like this are held in convention halls and such, and the chips have no real value, so far less scrutiny.

    In any 4800 person group, Men would be the most likely to try this in approximately all of them.

    Not to mention he already has a group of 20+ working with him already in place for such a scam.

    Not his style? You mean he changed his m.o. since the last time he tried this exact scam?

    I find it rather scandalous that you're now referring to yourself as a pearl-clutcher on 2+2 without a proper nod to Sonatine for introducing you to that rather obscure expression. I think dropping his name in your next video would be nice.
