Apparently this was Dubai last night and apparently it is real. @grok please can you confirm authenticity of this?

Maverick Gaming, known for its 27 casinos which are the pride and joy of Eric Persson, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy yesterday. The case is “RunItOneTime LLC” in US Bankruptcy Court of Southern Texas. seattletimes.com/business/wa-ca…

@LexVeldhuis @joeyd3393 I actually feel like they sensationalised a lot of the latter stages of the Kassouf story too. The security escort felt a lot like when the crew of armed guards bring in the bricks of money on the FT when they reach HU. Had the same kind of American TV hype vibe

@joeyd3393 Yes but more views on content doesn’t mean it’s good for said game. I agree on the views part and the goal for reporting.

People that are good for poker inspire others by showing their wit, skill, competitive spirit or resilience on Tv. It’s misunderstanding how content works to think that more views equals good for the game. It’s just people curious to see assholes act like assholes.

@mathxvision @berkey11 @NickSchulman @TheGrinder44 @ikepoker The fact you’re singling out minuscule & frankly impertinent things like the time taken on betting streets, or his views on health/wearing a mask in game entirely misses the point of what the HOF is. His resume, success in multiple disciplines and longevity speak volumes here

@berkey11 @NickSchulman @TheGrinder44 Agree with most of what you’ve said here, but claiming @ikepoker aka the insufferable angle shooting clown who insufferably tanks on literally every single street no matter the situation, and also wears a diaper covering his face should be in the HOF is an insanely retarded take.

Having @NickSchulman in the booth fresh off his recent induction to the HOF is part of what makes our sport so unique; the 🐐's are still in peak form when we enshrine them. The @TheGrinder44 has now (unofficially) final tabled the WSOP Main Event twice, won the PPC a record 4 times, and is not yet in the HOF. He's certainly making a strong case to ensure he's on the short list going forward. However, @JasonKoon, @ikepoker, & @JustinBonomo all turn 40 later this year-- easily all 1st ballot guys. @scott_seiver, @PhilGalfond, & @jeremyausmus still await their turns to certainly get in. @VanessaSelbst isn't even on the short list of nominees despite having such a lasting impact that she's STILL #1 on the woman's all time money list years after retiring. The old guard, like Forrest & @themouthmatusow, seemed to have missed their window despite having as much impact, if not more, during the boom era (I believe Ted is the only member of the corporation to not be in). And the industry leaders/operators, like Isai, Katz, & @SavagePoker, all hang in the balance waiting for an addendum to be added to let them in alongside the players. At some point we have to just acknowledge how broken of a system we have & correct course by opening the flood gates for a couple of years to those who are worthy. It seems too arbitrary to restrict it to 1 or 2 or whatever single digit number you pluck from a hat. Let's go to a baseball style system where >x% of votes from whatever panel we elect gets you in.

@SamGreenwoodRIO In the same view, do horses/stables/backing not also warp incentives infinitely? It’s essentially the same thing in that you will find fairness and respect from some players for the game & it’s integrity, but you also very much won’t… unfortunately unavoidable IMO.

You can't flip a switch from not chip dumping at all to egregiously chip dumping. I believe they tried to play 3H fairly, but their incentives are warped and they can't be trusted. Once they were caught HU and it was known they considered doing it three handed. They colluded.

If what Daniel said in his vlog is accurate and Jesse/James approached Reichard about colluding to get the WPT million three handed. They are lucky that the WSOP agreed to pay them out IMO and some sort of ban is reasonable.

@NormanChad @WPT @WSOP Do you think more people would have had visibility of your posts on here, or to hear a brief sentence lost in a sea of commentary on an FT stream? Poor form irrelevant of sincerity/sarcasm intended IMO
