In a scandal sure to
rock the world of online poker, perhaps even above and beyond the level of the
UltimateBet and Full Tilt incidents, a major poker site has admitted to
rigging their shuffles after being confronted by
Dave McDermott of
London, England.
“PokerSuns is rigged,” he wrote on
Four Plus Four Forums. “They rig the RNGs so
shortstacks bust and tournaments are over quickly and also they make it so
winning players lose when they cash out but
win when they deposit and I have proof
because I lost two all ins in a row when I was the favourite.”
McDermott’s
scathing, scandalising scoop prompted a
representative of PokerSuns to post on Four Plus Four,
admitting to the site’s wrongdoing and promising a
full refund of all affected players.
How it happened
Mr McDermott was playing in
two different multi-table tournaments on PokerSuns when he found himself all in with
pocket kings against pocket jacks for a sizeable pot. The board ran out 8-7-7-T-9 and
McDermott was busted.
Five minutes later in the next tournament, on the
money bubble, McDermott was
all in holding aces against his opponent’s ace-king. The flop was
K-2-K and McDermott didn’t hit his one-outer. He knew that
something was wrong.
“This
literally never happens in live poker ever,” he said. “
Only online does 85% not mean 100%. Ask anyone who has ever played live poker and they’ll tell you that they have never seen the best hand lose.
“To imply that this happens in live poker is actually pretty insulting to great players like
Darvin Moon and
Jamie Gold. What, do you think they made the final table of the
World Series of Poker by just
getting lucky and having the worst hand win sometimes? Don’t be ridiculous.”
