The world's poker media are not only interested in bright moments and huge winnings, but they are also pointing the finger at the dark side of the poker community. Many cases and fraudsters have been laundered in the past, but what the past few days have brought is not easy to see!
Alex Foxen, who pointed to a suspicious hand from the $250k SHRB TV table in Cyprus, started it all with his Twitter statements. In it, he described Ali Imsirovic as a cheater who saw Paul Phu's cards and used this information to win the hand. Ali's detriment is the fact that the next day he appeared on the television table for the first time in his life in sunglasses. Whether this is true or not, watch the following video and make your own opinion:
Ali's detriment is also the fact that in the past he was involved in many ugly cases, for example the one in which he was banned from GG due to proving multi-accounting. In view of all this, Alex Foxen boldly called for the creation of a blacklist of poker players, which would openly talk about various scams or other practices. But Alex probably didn't know that the whole situation would turn against him.
It didn't take long, and in response, Alex received a smash from the poker community in the form of accusations of soft play and collaboration with his wife Kristen Bicknell at the MSPT Venetian 2018 television table. Australian pro Kahle Burns faced the couple when there were last three players left. The three-hour record is said to prove several softplay cases led by this AA vs JJ collision, which Doug Polk also pointed out:
As bad as these cases may seem, know that they are nothing compared to the allegations made by Martin Zamani against the current number one of the world's all-time money list, Bryn Kenney. The list of allegations had no end and included multi-accounting, ghosting, the use of real-time assistance and other tools that helped the joint venture cost the poker community millions of dollars. As bad as it sounds, it's not over yet - the biggest ones have caused information from inside Kenney's stable.
It is not uncommon for the world's professionals to have their stable of students, whom they take care of, move them forward, and they reward them with a share of any winnings. In Kenney's stable, however, we were to witness literally psychopathic manners, during whom Kenney allegedly forced his students to eat vegan food, meditate, visit a shaman, take and smuggle drugs, or even undergo painful rituals with fire and poison from exotic frogs.
After three days of silence, Brynn's response in an exclusive 70-minute interview with PokerNews.com saw the light of day. As expected, Brynn denied everything and said in the style, "It's total nonsense, one of the craziest things I've ever heard." He further described Zamani as a lifelong unhappy man, but his evasive answers did not convince the poker community of his innocence. What do you think about all this?
