Exclusive + WhoIsNext

Noah supposedly multiaccounted again.

Lee Jones' response to this:

Hi Folks -

I realize that there are all kinds of rumors about the relationship between "Exclusive" and "Who is next" on PokerStars. We were aware of the relationship and started researching it immediately after Win busted out. We spoke to "Who is next" on the phone, and confirmed that he had actually played the event. We checked and it turned out that the two accounts never crossed paths during the tournament. So there was no question of collusion. Did Exclusive "coach" Win during the final table? We don't know and we don't really care. We don't have a "one player to hand" rule at PokerStars. [1]

We have gone to extraordinary lengths here to ensure that everything was above board. We are persuaded, within a reasonable tolerance, that Exclusive played one account and 'Who is next' played one account.

If you want to chat about this tournament, there are a *lot* of things to discuss, including the stellar field that ended up at the last two or three tables, the incredible comeback that "bigbugs" made, and the spectacular finish that E-Daddie delivered to outrun Greg "Fossilman" Raymer. Those are the really interesting bits.

Best regards,

Lee Jones

[1] We don't have a "one player to a hand" rule because we couldn't enforce such a rule. We don't like having rules we can't enforce. This is just one of those fundamental differences between online and B&M poker.
