Pokerspillere snydt - men hvordan?

In late June, the elegant Borgata in Atlantic City launched the
largest poker event in the town's history, a $5,000 per-person buy in
tournament with 337 players vied for $1.7 million. But someone else
was after the money as well; a team of high tech cheats with a scheme
worthy of Oceans 11.


Well-placed sources told the I-Team that New Jersey gaming agents
staged a quiet raid on the Borgata and arrested four people. By one
account, they stormed a hotel room and found it packed with electronic
equipment. According to one source, gaming control initially believed
the suspects had tapped into a live video feed generated by the hole
card cameras that allow TV audiences to see a player's down cards in
games of Texas Hold 'em, information that presumably could be relayed
to a confederate playing in the tournament.


snedigt

Ja, men hvis du læser videre på den side du har fundet udtaler sikkerhedseksperten på Borgata, at dette ikke var tilfældet. Selve spillene blev aldrig angrebet. Det lyder meget underligt, men der kom nok snart mere info.

Der er kommet en del mere info - de første nyheder kom for omkring 10 dage siden.

Det de havde gang i var nærmere en high-tech version af det Ken Lennard forsøgte sig med tidligere : At lokke high-stakes spillere til at spille mod sig i et privat game som de havde rigged.

I det her tilfælde var det bare elektronisk rigged - de havde sat kameraer op som kunne se spillernes kort og havde kommunikationsudstyr skjult i iPods.
