Poker ace had losing hand....and all the same won!

Another argument at on-line poker website UltimateBet.com showed up over the weekend, arousing in Hand #1162170993 becoming a much argued topic on the honourable poker forum 2+2. The details of the hand were presented in this forum. So, the fact is that Phil Hellmuth, who is very skilled in poker, pranged his hand, but nevetheless he awarded a $5 599 pot.

This case started on Saturday morning when an international poker ace was urged to take part in a tense game. The second gambler was a person with the nick "Doubleballer." In spite of having the weaker hand, Phil has got the pot in the end of the wager, lodging a complaint to the managers. It is not much time passed from the past cheating scandal, that flared up around this site. So, the officials of this poker website quickly understood that there was a problem, and they promised to make their efforts in order to to obtain justice as soon as possible. Their decision was to start an immediate inquiry.

To this time not a lot of information become known, but there is a theory that it is a technical glitch in the newly launched Cereus poker network software that has lead to the wrong decision. The poker sites UltimateBet and Absolute Poker are the main operational elements of the newly upgraded network.

The COO of Absolute and UltimateBet owner Tokwiro Enterprises Paul Leggett also showed a quick reaction. He wrote on his blog that he has learned about this case right away and that all the investigating activities will be held at the near time, because it is their absolute top priority. He added that it is the first time when their system paid out the losing player. Paul Leggett also said they are about to examine all relevant application logs in order to hunt the fault down.
