Cheating on the gulf coast

Yeah, the venue should be asking Maurice to give the 3rd place player the difference between 3rd place and what the ICM value of his stack would have been if he had won that pot.

Maurice doesn't want to pay? Fine you're no longer welcome at this venue or any other WSOP-affiliated events.

At what point does this type of **** from Maurice become a pattern of behavior warranting a ban? Maurice is shouting "outed him," influencing the dealer to incorrectly award him the pot when he lost.

I've seen a pot worth a few hundred bucks get incorrectly awarded in a cash game, and when the venue realized the mistake they asked the beneficiary to make it right or they would be banned. This situation should be no different.

Your last example is wild

"Hey we ****ed up so you better make it right or we will ban you"

nutty

Maurice should have long ago been banned for his behavior towards players at the table and for being a scammer.

But if anyone is eating any money here it should be the venue.

Wsop doesn't facilitate chops and you'd essentially be forcing an icm chop against their own rules because they messed up.

Yea maybe Maurice saw it but maybe he didn't. I wouldn't trust the guy with a quarter. But at the end of the day he's not the one who got the pot wrong and it's not his fault the TD wasn't at the table for the all in like he should have been.

Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you. In the example I listed I also felt that the venue should have been the ones who made things right out of promo funds or whatever.

In the case of Maurice though he has a history of this kind of stuff. Trust me he knew exactly what was going down.

No you deliberately mislead the dealer into at best a mistake but more likely bribed them to make the "mistake" and we are going to make you pay for your behavior.

It's infintesimally likely that Maurice somehow bribed the dealer hoping to find exactly this situation, which would require an incredible parlay of events to hit, including the other player not realizing his hand either.

This exact situation I agree unlikely. An offer of money for all possible situations much more likely.

lol no it isn’t likely in any way, shape, or form

Not saying it's necessarily "likely," but it's certainly possible that if this dealer was already part of a cheating team splitting profits he could have just spotted an opportunity and took it.

Given that this thread existed before the Baltimore event and given some of the current heat, a cheating dealer might have a tough time setting a deck in a high profile spot. But they could certainly do something as simple as pitching Maurice's opponents cards a little high so Maurice sometimes catches a glimpse of the cards, occasionally "miscount" stacks or misread the board so that it benefits him, etc.
