Cheating In The Main Event? Was Tamayo's WSOP ME Win Unethical?
Doug Polk has released a video showing Tamayo's rail clearly using a laptop for assistance. You can also see Joe McKeeha
There was a chess player possibly getting information literally into his ass. Don't know where this ends.
guy was falsely accused simply because he has a shady past and the world champ was butthurt he lost to him imo
there's never been a single shred of evidence put forward beyond magnus saying "i lost so he must have been cheating to beat me"
that's why you play the matches magnus instead of just automatically giving you the win...
grunching
Griff is going to be live w Polk in 30 mins on Polk's YT channel

Sounds like they both may have been butthurt
laptop discussion just started
What’s kind of sad about this whole thing is that I think it confirms many of the public’s belief about the average poker players’ greed and selfish motives even though the entire poker community ironically turns out to have a unanimous stance against this sort of behavior
It should be advertised as a cheater friendly tournament. They gave the pot and no penalty to the angler who showed j2o. They let Men steal chips.
New polk interview with the runner up, who is a decent player but amateur.
The laptop thing is a bad look, but if he’s just getting solves/advice between hands, whatever. If someone is telling him how to play hands in real time through an ear piece, that’s cheating. No sure how either of these points can be debated.
100% cheating
100% scum
simple as.

Seems like a lay reading of NGC regs comes to different conclusion about the laptop.
Regardless of anything else, Tamayo McKeesham and Dom et al are absolute ****ing scumbags and should be treated as such. That isn’t up for debate and if you think it is you’re wrong
The debate is whether they were cheating, which really depends on how far they went and what can be proved
Maybe they can do a picture of the guys on the rail with the laptops in a commercial "what happens in Vegas stays in vegas."
I wonder how much his rail assistants got paid for "coaching"?

Sure …if you are asking their opinion online about it
Watched Polk vid, Griff seems like a good dude. Didn't sound like he wants a lawsuit or any trouble.
Dom, Joe, Tamayo should be keeping their mouths shut right now though. Their boasting makes me want to punish it.
Griff has a newly found 6mil, he can easily throw 5-10k at an attorney to start fishing here, (probably plus EV when damages could exceed 4mil?) Maybe nothing sticks but it'll make the little dweebs squirm and you'll get a couple laughs.

Facts.
Don't think gaming suits are easy, but tamayo and the casino have $s to sue for.
Has anyone figured out why the guy McKeehan gave the AirPod to looked like he was just given OJ’s bloody glove?
Are earpieces allowed at final tan ll es? They should ban consulting with the rail except during 10÷ minute breaks in play. Pretty sure there will be changes to the rules.
I watched the video of the earbud falling out of Joe's ear and it's very bizzare.
It falls out as he's hugging Tamayo , Joe catches it and then immediately hands it to some random dude on the rail.
Let me ask you guys a question... have any of you ever dropped your earbud and handed it to your friend to hold onto ? That makes no sense. Wouldn't you just put it in your pocket?
Which leads me to believe it either wasn't his earbud, it was an earbud they were all sharing, or something more nefarious and he was trying to hide it.

That's the smoking gun right there.
And where there's smoke there's fire.
