Absolute Poker Confesses To Internal Foul Play

In this Weekly Shuffle, we detailed a scandal involving multiple accounts at Absolute Poker apparently having the ability to know their opponents' hole cards. Recent evidence suggested that the assailants were Absolute Poker insiders.

Today, Absolute Poker addressed these accusations and admitted that an "internal breach" had compromised the legitimacy of their games. They stated that, until yesterday, they had no knowledge that an insider was accessing players' hole cards. They maintained that no management personnel were involved in this incident and promised that players affected by this scandal will be repaid in full.

More on this case will be detailed in our next Weekly Shuffle.
