MacPhee brokker sig over Shark Cage: – Hvordan kan de invitere en spiller der er anklaget for snyd?

Navnet Kevin ‘ImaLuckSac’ MacPhee burde ikke kræve nogen nærmere præsentation. Amerikaneren er en af verdens absolut bedste turneringsspillere, hvilket en EPT Berlin-titel og cashes for over $3 millioner i liveturneringer vidner om, og så er hans onlinestatistikker endda endnu mere skræmmende med cashes for næsten $7 millioner.

I går skabte han en mindre Twitter-storm, da han ellers ganske uskyldigt lagde ud med at spørge, hvordan deltagerne i PokerStars’ tv-satsning ‘The Shark Cage” generelt var blevet udvalgt, og mere specifikt om Griffin Benger selv havde kvalificeret sig, eller var blevet inviteret af PokerStars.

Programmets producer, James Hartigan, var hurtigt til at svare, at Benger var blevet inviteret, hvilket fik Kevin McPhee til at skumme over med en række tweets:

@J_Hartigan inviting suspected cheaters ��

@J_Hartigan well when he ghosts horses over Skype in a crowded room of ppl + suspected collusion in EPT qualifers… kinda hard to ignore

@J_Hartigan online EPT qualifiers numbers have gone down significantly because of people no longer allowed to play them due to collusion

@J_Hartigan its a joke that a guy being investigated for colluding against his peers gets invited to a million dollar freeroll

@J_Hartigan the simple fact is that there has been a lot of correspondence between members of the online community & PS regarding this guy

@J_Hartigan but instead PS just ignores suspected cheating & adds him to the line up because he is “good for tv” which is obv bs

@ThaChiropractor @constantcolorup @J_Hartigan its a bit strange that the guy moves to London & then stops playing EPT qualifiers.. isn’t it?

@4bet2induce hard for me to shrug it off with a ‘wtv’ when a guy I have heard lots of cheating stories about wins a milly from a free invite

Som den skarpsindige læser nok kan tyde imellem Kevin MacPhees linjer, så vandt Griffin Benger sig Shark Cage-heat. Du kan se afsnittet her.
