This is the edge-sorting case that Phil Ivey just cannot get away from.

Back in 2012 Ivey was accused of edge sorting while playing Punto Banco (a form of Baccarat) with his playing partner Cheung Yin Sun, and he was consequently found guilty of cheating.

It has since been announced via FlushDraw that the Borgata have been given the go-ahed to seek their funds (that’s over $10 million) in the State of Nevada as Ivey has no money or assets in the state of New Jersey, where the edge-sorting took place.

As per the motion filed by Borgata attorney Jeremy M. Klausner back in October 2018, “Defendant Ivey has substantial assets in Nevada. That is where he lives and that is where his businesses are based. In contrast, he has no identifiable assets in New Jersey. Given the foregoing, Borgata satisfies the ‘mere showing that the defendant has substantial property in the other district and insufficient [property] in the rendering district.’ As a result, good cause is shown and Borgata should be permitted to register this Court’s December 15, 2016 [ruling] in the District of Nevada.”

This means that the New Jersey based Borgata can actively pursue getting their money back in Nevada—seven years after the cheating took place.

Ivey was also required to pay back £7.7 million over in the UK—it is not clear if he has yet cleared his debt at this time.

It all started when David Tuchman tweeted this…

The poker Twitterati soon waded in with the likes of Doug Polk saying he’d go vegan for a year for $200k; Dan Smith would do it for $365k (giving it all to charity, natch), Terrance Chan would do it for $10M, Adam Schwartz $20k and Jamie Kerstetter for $10k.

After all that, it seems Jamie is the only one to undertake the challenge. Can she go vegan for a year?

Kerstetter will have to live a vegan lifestyle for one year and will need to check in/ post two blog posts a month to keep people up to speed with her progress. If she fails, Bill Perkins gets to choose a place where Kerstetter has to volunteer 100 hours of her time. If she doesn’t complete the 100 hours of community service in one year she will owe $10k.

It looks like Daniel Negreanu will be on hand to give her some vegan advice along the way.

Both Jaime Staples and Jeff Gross have announced that they have parted ways with PokerStars.

Staples had been with the company for 4 years and Gross, 18 months.

As part of Gross’ statement about leaving PokerStars, he said “I have really valued my time with PokerStars and appreciate the opportunity and experience. I wanted to thank the entire PokerStars family.”

Both failed to go into any of the actual reasons surrounding their departure.

It looks like the Poker Flow Show will continue into 2019 with Gross seeming to be focusing his attentions on YouTube.

Despite entering the final table as the shortest stack, US Pro Bryn Kenney emerged victorious as he took down the Aussie Millions Main Event for AUD $1,272,598 (~ USD $918,657) after a three-way deal.

The AUD $10,600 buy-in Main Event was a special one as it drew a record turnout for the second successive year, pulling in 822 players to build a prize pool of $8,220,000 (~ USD $6 million).

After five days of action, Bryn along with six more players entered the Final Table. Among the Final Tablists, Mike Del Vecchio who finished as a runner up this year had also made a Final Table appearance in 2018.

With this win, the 32-year-old Kenny has racked up over $26.6 million in tournament earnings to take him to ninth place on the all-time money list.
