What security will be in place in light of the recenctly discovered cheating scandal. The State's Attorneys Office needs to look into this. I am not sure how deep the scam ran up the rope but it appears it has went down the last two tourneys.

I wont use last names but Doug and Alan work as a team. They intoduce chips into play.

If these two men are not banned from play you will not see my money at your door.

Joe you should look into this. The guy won over 25k. He was caught cheating at a local charity tourny as well. The directors know about it and have not ban him from play. His ass should be in jail along with his partner who usually deals at final tables.

These two idiots have hurt the local fire company games because word has spread and no one wants to play with them. They have really hurt a good thing for the V.F.D.s

You are given a set number of chips. At each break the chips are bagged or left on the table. They are suposed to be watched at all time. A standard chip is the size of a silver dollar. They can be palmed or in this case put into play by a dealer or your co-conspirator. Or just have them in your pocket and when you get moved to another table bring it out. A 5000 dollar chip or two give you the oppurtunity to play or see more hands, hence increasing your odds of winning. The law of averages is in your favor.

The men listed have been caught cold handed and the inner pker world around here did not want the news out it is a huge money maker.

It is easy to prevent this by changing the chips before each tourney. Unless the guy running show is involved and that does not seem to be case here. The chips used should be exclusive in a big money tourney or at least marked to prevent this.

Cheating is as old as the game. In the day you just shot the cheater. lol
