Link to the whole thread http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29/news-views-gossip/ultimate-bet-wtf-hellmuth-has-worse-hand-but-pot-gets-shipped-him-anyway-369065/ Shocking, although even more shocking that anyone's still playing there after the whole superuser thing.

Re: New UltimateBet Scandal From the Ultimate Bet Blog

Earlier today we learned about a poker hand where our system paid out the losing player instead of the correct winning hand. The hand number is #1162170993. We are investigating this software malfunction as our absolute top priority. This is the first incident of this kind we have encountered. We are currently examining the poker system and the application logs in order to pinpoint the cause of this malfunction.

Funny how they forget to mention it was Phil Hellmuth who got the pot he should have lost.
