UltimateBet Awards Phil Hellmuth Pot on Losing Hand
UltimateBet's Phil Hellmuth has seen better days.
All right now, how many times do we have to say, "Quit playing on UB and Absolute Poker"? How many times?
Just when you think UB has bottomed out, another scandal. And this one involves their biggest star.
As first reported at pokerati here, Phil Hellmuth was involved in a pot during a $200/400 limit hold'em game where he held the losing hand yet was shipped the virtual cash.
The player on the losing end, DOUBLEBALLER, contacted customer support and eventually got his money back, but not before UB sustained another black eye on yet another software glitch.
While it's widely believed inside the industry that Hellmuth has had absolutely no involvement in any of the UB cheating scandals, this certainly won't help his rep to the masses.
That is just ridiculous. I can't believe how many times stuff like that happens on those sites. I do not agree with the legislation to ban online poker, but I'm starting to see some of the reasoning that the supporters of it use.
