Who is the big name pro caught cheating?

[thejameser]

You know how rumors can circulate. I don't know if it was a tournament or a ring game, but I heard either Freddy Deeb or Sammy Farha got caught trying to palm chips after a bet. Can anyone verify/dispute any of this?

5 or 6 months ago this rumor was circulating about Farha being caught doing this. Never heard if it was true or not.

if you search you can find it...it had something to do with todd and doyle brunson and sam farha in the big game while they were stopped over in tunica - i think.

anyway, it wasn't palmmed chips it was something about mis-reading a hand, and i think the brunson camp thought sam did it on purpose if i remember correctly.

either way, it wasn't THAT major of an offense because they've all played in the big game together since...

Yes, we do. This is how. Without a shred of evidence, you just smeared two top professional players.

How about verifying it yourself before posting it on a public forum. Even if one of the two you named is guilty, you just slandered the other one.

Dude, you need to chill. This is all rehashed stuff. With all the bogus, inane stuff thrown out on this board, this is what upsets you ?

So it's okay to spread unfounded rumors if someone else has already spread them? Good thinking.

There is too much bogus, inane stuff here because no one calls BS on all the bogus, inane stuff here. Just doing my little bit to point out the inanity.

Yeah, it is OK. It's called freedom of speech.

BS and inane stuff is called on the offending poster all the time here. It's certainly not enough to stem the tide though.

for the record, i am not accusing anyone of anything; i am asking a question to which someone may know the answer. i respect both of those players and their abilities and i am puzzled as to, if it was true, why in the hell would they do that? anyway, the last time i checked "Gossip" was not necessarily as deeply rooted in the need for support from factual evidence as our founding father would dispute.

Nice overreaction.

Looks like he's just asking a question 'trying' to verify it.

A bit overly dramatic, no?

You guys didn't hear the new law? Yes, just asking whether someone did something or not is now slander. Good thing we had our lawyer friend here, so we don't make the same mistake in the future. The OP is in big trouble though. Don't drop the soap!

Ahem. As my name suggests, I'm a lawyer. Slander is spoken. This is "libel." The two constitute the tort of defamation.

And like pornography, there is no exact standard to measure it by per se. The issue is truthfulness (always a defense) and damages. Class dismissed. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
