Good news for Michael Mizrachi, aka ‘the Grinder’ finalist last world championship of poker in Las Vegas, which was under a criminal complaint filed Sept. 7, 2010: La-called complaint has finally been closed last week.
Background
Two months before the final table of Main Event World Series of Poker 2010, the Texan company ‘Deliverance Poker’ had decided to sue for breach of contract. According to the plaintiffs, Michael Mizrachi had signed a performance contract with their company in July 2009, which gave them the exclusive right to exploit the image of the player and was obliged to wear their logo in all circumstances. A bond that has ceased to meet at the end of last summer.
Michael Mizrachi was then informed that Deliverance Poker does represent more because he had received from Full Tilt an offer “he could not refuse.” And the player, who had sported the logos ‘Deliverance Poker’ for most World Series, has suddenly found itself with a patch Full Tilt before the cameras of ESPN, the final table of the Main Event. That’s what has earned Tiltware, the parent of Full Tilt Poker, ending up alongside the ‘Grinder’ on the dock in this case.
Why was acquitted Mizrachi
After an attempt at conciliation between the parties that failed, the court judge in Austin (Texas) James Nowlin has finally ruled in favor of the defendants and ordered that the complaint be dismissed, without prejudice. This means that the trial, originally set for April 25, will not take place but new evidence in the record could lead to re-open the proceedings.
In its reasoning, Judge Nowlin took the view that the contract between Deliverance Poker Michael Mizrachi had never been fully activated: “A clause in the contract stipulated that he would be terminated if the necessary capital to launch Poker No Deliverance ‘ were not met by the end of August 2009. “Which, apparently, was not the case.
We are still waiting to know if Deliverance Poker will appeal this decision or not. The good fortune of Michael Mizrachi seems in any case no longer have to leave after his victory in the ‘Poker Players Championship, $ 50,000 and fifth place in WSOP Main Event which together enabled him to complete summer 2010 with more than four million dollars in winnings.
Deliverance Poker perdition
Poker for Deliverance, the outlook is much darker: While the company had last year a website and a brand new poker room, the defection of Mizrachi has provoked the flight of investors and put an end – final? – Adventure. Currently, there is no active site under the domain name deliverancepoker.com. The slogan chosen by initially Deliverance Poker ‘Do not get screwed on the river’ (literally ‘does not make you swell on the river’, referring to the eponymous film by John Moorman) resonates today with accents strangely prophetic.

Sunday, March 27, the winner of a competition FullTiltPoker.com whose goal was to meet the star of the online poker Tom Dwan “durrrr ‘ face-to-head, was disqualified and replaced by walk-up the runner.
The reasons for the disqualification have not been officially cleared by the online poker site that sponsors Tom Dwan, but most knowledgeable observers believe that ‘svetamillion wanted it to be replaced by a more experienced player at the last minute, a change detected by the security of Full Tilt Poker.
$ 1.5 million to win against Tom Dwan
Many players took part in this competition into four stages based on Sit’n gos ‘Matrix’, a format where players compete on the same four tables in parallel with a cumulative ranking at the end of the parties.
The winner of qualifications could win up to 1.5 Million $ if beat ‘durrrr’ on the four tables simultaneously.
During this challenge in four rounds, the Russian player ‘svetamillion’ (or the player, Sveta is a common female name in Russia) has managed to qualify in one of nine freerolls of Round 2, winning $ 1,800 in passing.
The offending banned sees his bankroll confiscated
In the third round of the Challenge Durrrr Matrix ‘svetamillion’ came out the winner sit’go Matrix brings together the top nine players from Round 2, thus qualifying for the heads-up against Tom Dwan, with the key to $ 25,000 $ 1,500,000 to be won by the number of SnG earned on the four played.
The cheater replaced
But when it was expected to see ‘svetamillion’ face ‘durrrr’ is another player, the runner of the competition ‘inorej’ which appeared in its place. Apparently a last-minute change had resulted in the disqualification of ‘svetamillion’.
The latter would have posted on the Russian version of the site PokerStrategy the following message: “I was banned and my money was confiscated. The security of Full Tilt Poker said that their analysis showed that I was using two accounts. (…) The other nickname is a friend who taught me to play … hence the similarity in our game. ”
It seems especially according to preliminary results of the informal survey conducted by forum member twoplustwo that ‘svetamillion’ has attempted to be assisted by his “friend” during his duel with Tom Dwan, but decided at the last moment to leave his coach take control of their account. A very bad idea that led to its elimination, and the inability to play for $ 1.5 million.
Tom Dwan won four duels
Tom Dwan on Full Tilt
Ironically his replacement ‘inorej’ failed to seize his chance, losing four simultaneous games against ‘durrrr’. Note that it is the latter’s personal insistence that the price gains of the first three games were almost doubled (from $ 10,000, $ 25,000 and $ 100,000 to $ 25,000, $ 50,000 and $ 100,000), who reported Dwan he would pay the difference out of pocket if necessary.
Moreover, each of the victories of Tom Dwan was an opportunity to pay $ 10,000 to a fund to help tsunami victims in Japan. That does not console perhaps the loser nor disqualified, but will in any case confirmed two things that we already knew: we do not trifle with safety at Full Tilt Poker, Tom Dwan is one of the players most generous in the professional poker circuit.
