[edit] TheV0id disqualified as WCOOP champion

pokerlistings.com, Confirms this story, without saying who TheV0id is although it has been rumored although I don't think it will be confirmed by stars due to this statement "Please note that we are unable to release further details of this investigation, for reasons of confidentiality and privacy.", I believe that the adjustment to this article shouldn't be made until pokerstars release the new payout list, or does anyone think it should be done now, if so, how, the site doesn't reflect it as of yet [1], but the release from stars that mention at pokerlistings is here http://www.pokerlistings.com/thev0id-disqualified-as-wcoop-champion-19321 ▪◦▪≡ЅiREX≡Talk 00:31, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

It seems clear he was disqualified and the money will be redistributed, but even the PL story refers to "an announcement found on many online sites..." which would seem a few miles short of WP:V. I say we change this page as soon as Pokerstars changes their results page (or officially releases a statement on one of their domains). 2005 00:56, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Pokernews story out now that doesn't have the dubious "found on many online sites" waffle. I sourced it, but when Pokerstars changes their results page the ref should probably be that. 2005 11:09, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cheating

This is not to do with the article per se, but I play Scrabble online and you could never do any tournament where you were playing for money because people would just cheat. It's the easiest thing in the world. I'm always baffled why people play for money online at poker because of this. Is it just not possible to cheat at poker online? Please reply on my talk page if you can be bothered. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:44, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
