Jordan Saccucci wanted for major robbery in Canada, bounces out of country to play WSOP Paradise

[Dan Druff]

Very weird story.

Jordan Saccucci was wanted in Canada for allegedly being part of a home robbery gang.



Canadian authorities were looking for him in late November, and arrested him on December 5. But he popped up in the strangest of places -- the WPT Paradise!



Yes, Saccucci was seen competing in Day 1b of the WSOP Paradise Main Event, but was booted from the Atlantis resort shortly thereafter, and therefore disqualified.

It's not clear if he was booted because of a behavioral issue, or because of his arrest in Canada for armed robbery, but he's out.

It's also not clear how Saccucci was able to leave Canada, just days after being arrested for such a major crime.

He won an EPT event in 2022 for $1,000,000, which I have to assume either went to backers or got chunked off in the past year (or both).

How quickly we forget about the home invasion that was perpetrated against John Duhamel a few yrs back

Just read the article. There's some serious shade being thrown at the cops and could be legitimate. If what he's saying is true that 2 of the cops lied on their reports/affidavit's and were suspended for 2months then he might have a point.

The only reason I can see for the casino wanting him out was at the behest of being notified by Bahamian authorities of his potential pending charges since both Canada and Bahamas are part of the British Commonwealth, they do share info, and it's possible the Bahamas weren't informed about his charges till after he had entered and its possible while not deported he was strongly urged to leave and go back North.
