Phil Ivey Continues to Fight Allegations of Cheating
Phil Ivey has announced that an appeal of a £7.8 million decision rendered against him by a UK Judge is expected to be heard before the end of the year.
The case involving allegations of card sorting by the owners of Crockfords Club is set for appeal on December 10.
The Court of Appeal judge, Lord Justice Lewison, stated that Ivey’s grounds of appeal ‘raise an important question of law and have a real prospect of success.’
Ivey is also involved in another legal case in the US where The Borgata has alleged that he used the card sorting technique to cheat the casino out of $9.6 million.
Ivey had this to say:
As I said at the time of the London verdict last October, it is not in my nature to cheat which is why I was so bitterly disappointed by the judge’s decision a year ago, even though he said that I was a truthful witness and that he was sure that I didn’t believe that what I was doing was cheating. This wording from the Court of Appeal, that the grounds of our appeal raise an important question of law and have real prospects of success is quite simply the best news I’ve had since I won the £7.8m at Crockfords over three years ago in August 2012.
Below is a timeline of events as provided by Ivey’s PR reps:
