Falsk Ivey prøvede at låne $100.000 fra Gus

En snu person forsøgte i går at drage fordel af, at nicket ‘Phil Ivey’ var ledigt på Full Tilt Poker efter sitets genåbning den 6. november.

Efter at have logget ind på klienten skyndte den falske Phil Ivey sig op på highstakesbordene, hvor han som tilskuer forsøgte at lokke $100.000 ud af Gus Hansen som det fremgår af denne chat:

Phil Ivey (Observer): some loan me 100k?
Karcsikkk (Observer): I have 8c if it helps
Phil Ivey (Observer): lol
Karcsikkk (Observer): Otherwise i would send tho
yamuckit (Observer): i got 3 grand on my account right now good enough for 1.5 blinds
Phil Ivey (Observer): need 100k
yamuckit (Observer): why dont you call gus
yamuckit (Observer): he might have observer chat off
Karcsikkk (Observer): Skype Gus or smthing?
Karcsikkk (Observer): Nope,,,gus has it always on,,,tho he might be pissed of by some railers about what they were saying during his downswing las week
yamuckit (Observer): prob turned it off
Karcsikkk (Observer): yea,,,migh be true…
Phil Ivey (Observer): gus sucks
Karcsikkk (Observer): Hey Phil,,what about xfrer from stars?
Phil Ivey (Observer): he knows it too
Karcsikkk (Observer): haha
Phil Ivey (Observer): yea its done..

Der er dog lukket ned for snydet. PokerStars – som nu ejer Full Tilt Poker – har således sendt denne mail ud til nogle af deres spillere:
