WCOOP collusion?
 

"WCOOP is the real deal By Steve Rosenbloom

<font color="green">"Panella86" cut a deal with "Vendetta" and "tralala." Each would take more than $500,000 of the prize pool, with $50,000 and the bracelet at stake.</font>

I don't play online- is it common to even split the vast majority of the prize pool 3-ways and play for a pittance? Were the chip stacks all around even?

Because I surely would be looking hard at hand histories and previous rounds after seeing this, if I'd been in the WCOOP main event.

You're kidding right? People make deals at the end of tournaments all the time. Live and on-line. I would have been more suprised if they didn't make a deal with such huge money at stake for the top few spots.

Plus they tried to cut a deal with the 4th and 5th place finishers... both of whom refused to deal.

So if they were colluding, they were doing a crappy job!

Re: WCOOP collusion?
 

Yes. And that is true for B&amp;M tournaments as well.

Re: WCOOP collusion?
 

First consider that there were 1400 players + in the event. How likely is it that these 3 players knew each other? Not very.

Yes and yes.
The deal is overseen by Stars support (in this case...Lee Jones was there to supervise the deal).

This was x-posted over in another forum too?? It's a really ridiculous question for even one forum..much less two.

Are we sure that someone didn't infiltrate E's account and make this post? This seems like an incredibly naive question to ask, even if he doesn't play online.

What makes it even funnier is that while most of his posts are in OOT/Sports his largest number of on-topic posts seem to be in the MTT forum.
