Poker, Natalie Teltscher brought to its knees before PokerStars ... August 22, 2008 - Source: Blog Casino Poker - Article written by: Blog Casino Poker (Youth Madagascar) A bad stroke of poker, this is how one could describe the attempted Natalie Teltscher bringing his case to the opponent Pokerstars to justice. Eventually it will have failed to bluff the court of the Isle of Man and had to make its cards! As a reminder, this story begins with a tournament like all poker tournaments online that offer different rooms online games. The Main Event of WCOOP 2007 won the hand by Natalie Teltscher with a gain of $ 1 228 330.50 was originally a scandal in the world of online games. Some time after the victory of "The V0id" in this case Natalie Teltscher, its success was questioned by the house organizer of what Pokerstars tournament. The surveys and investigations that are current processes for a room this size have indeed found that this victory was sullied by cheating that went beyond the rules laid down by the tournament organizer of the room. It was stipulated that each account must be registered for a single person who must ensure all parties that the account has to play throughout the tournament, becoming the account must in no circumstances be used by another person. But it turned out that the winner "the V0id" was not used by Natalie Teltscher during the tournament or at least a portion of the tournament. Pokerstars has decided to disqualify Natalie Teltscher and withdrew the sum which was intended to distribute to other players in the final table. But "the V0id" brought the case before the justice of the Isle of Man so that the sum which is due to be returned. Also the court wished to clarify the terms and conditions that were stipulated in the rules established by Pokerstars to make a fair and just verdict. But finally, given the results of investigations have revealed that Pokerstars, the complainant has recently decided to withdraw its complaint against the house Thursday as she finally admitted that indeed, it was not she who used the account " The V0id "which belonged to him. She acknowledges that this account has been lent to a so-called agent whose identity remains to be determined. Anyway, it must pay fees paid by Pokerstars in this dispute which has now lasted nearly a year ... The court could only reach a verdict in favor of Pokerstars given the facts and evidence it considers to be irrefutable, and "admission" by Natalie Teltscher will only confirm its decision. Faced with this result, Pokerstars did not hide their satisfaction about the outcome of this case, indeed, they even managed to get an advertisement on the back of "The V0id" demonstrating the effectiveness of their control and authentication of accounts and players. Thus, Pokerstars, although risky big as his reputation might well benefit from this case. Investigations made to detect any ill-intentioned players have borne fruit and they hope that the turn taken by this case "The V0id" give confidence to other players. Such advertising is now so valuable for rooms online poker because with the recent case of breach of security that have plagued other rooms like Absolute Poker and Full Tilt Poker, the image of online poker has seriously taken a blow. And given the course of this case, there might even be tempted sometimes to think that all this could well be premeditated in order to smooth the image of online poker. Indeed, the fact that Miss Teltscher has withdrawn his complaint is rather strange because it is still a million dollar fine and that it accepts more still pay to offset the costs incurred by Pokerstars throughout this deal. On the other hand, having a room the size of Pokerstars will be able to defend the same ethics of poker. The conditions and established rules about the uniqueness of using a player account and its effective participation for an entire tournament will be the guarantor of this ethic, or these rules have been easily circumvented by this player, and fact that another person has used the account "The V0id", and also in the final, will have completely distorted the face of the game. Others present at the final table might have been able to win because they would have otherwise been able to play ... In addition, the supposed agent who might have taken its place could be his brother who is also a professional player. And strangely the identity of the "agent" will never be found until now. All this demonstrates that Pokerstars has nevertheless demonstrated a certain letting go. However that players should not forget is that the risks of triches still exist especially during a party line. The tournament which has been the subject of this case is among the major online tournaments, then what should he think about the security of small tournaments if a tournament in 3000 with nearly $ 3000 players have such vulnerabilities? Using the technique of multi-account deployed in this case are probably on other tables and online tournaments but did not yet seen both on the side of players on the side of organizers. And of course, as cheating has always existed, it still exists but it will be the techniques that evolve to keep pace with the evolution of security systems. And despite the good intentions Poker online dare say such scandals, could not blame them, because the solutions they propose dealing with such circumstances as redistributing gains to other players, benefits Players who do not cheat, though ... now, there is a worry!
