As a result, the Tournament Director has decided to disqualify Ali Tekintamgac. The final table will now start with eight players. ****************** This is the guy who won the WPT Barcelona. It seems he had accomplices in the "press" team who were checking his opponent's cars and signalling to him. He is also a recidivist having had his "reporter" friends kicked out EPT Tallinn for the same reason amongst other things. On the French forum Club Poker the following video was posted (WPT final hand) and if you look carefully it seems clear that the "photographer" is signalling the hand after the 28th second. I expect that there will be some consequences there also.For now the French police is after him.

Re: WPT winner accused of cheating and disqualified from Partouche Poker Tour final t Obv the video above is not what was used to disqualify from the PPT - but still quite telling IMO It seems it was quite well known for a while before coming out in the open
