deadlydaveLDN Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more :loon I presume this is on Cereus? How long ago did that launch? Seeming more like a software bug more than malicious cheating :unsure (except as you say for the rather bizarre coincidence that it's Phil Hellmuth :loon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeming more like a software bug more than malicious cheating :unsure (except as you say for the rather bizarre coincidence that it's Phil Hellmuth :loon) Think it's only been 2-3 months at most. All kinds of theories flying round in the 2+2 thread. Of course it seems strange that Hellmuth would be cheating given the amount of people that would be railing/the websites that keep track of high stakes tables. But it's also pretty strange that out of the millions of hands that have probably been played since the relaunch that this happens only once, and it's Hellmuth playing.

deadlydaveLDN Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Re: New UltimateBet Scandal Is this a windup ? I can not believe that anyone still plays at UB. No windup. I should add that as you will see if you read the full thread, Hellmuth seemed very unconcerned by the whole thing at the time, saying something like, these things happen!!

GaF Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Re: New UltimateBet Scandal Wasn't Morl involved in a pot on Boss that he won (or split?) but was shipped to his opponent?
