ABSOLUTE POKER CHEATING CASE SOLVED

SportingLife Poker 24 Oct -- Following allegations of illicit play at Absolute Poker which saw players robbed of hundreds of thousands of dollars, an employee at the company has been discovered as the hacker who used his knowledge of security loopholes to his advantage while playing the tables.

According to an anonymous Absolute Poker spokesperson, an employee hacked the system to gain access to an asset of invincibility: the ability to see his opponents’ hole cards.

The cheater has garnered between $400,000 and $700,000 for his efforts.

“This is literally a geek trying to prove to senior management that they were wrong and he took it too far,” said the spokesperson on MSNBC.

Players claimed than sockpuppets by the name of “Graycat,” “Potripper,” “Steamroller” were dominating the tables -- to an unreasonable degree.

“(He) can see the cards, and you can put my name on that,” said PlanetPoker.com security chief Roy Cooke.

“When people are doing things out of character and consistently doing it right, there’s a reason for it,” he said. “When they’re always playing the hand that has value in a situation and then folding a great hand when it has value, they can see the cards.”

Absolute Poker initially denied the allegations, but when Internet publicity forced an address, the conducted an enquiry. The Costa Rica-based company issued a statement admitting to the recent allegations of fraud and promised a "comprehensive statement."
