Phil Ivey Looks Stoned

He may have been perfectly sober for all we know, but a set of photos that popped up of poker pro Phil Ivey appear to have caught the player at an especially “bad” time.

“He looks either stoned or drunk,” observed Gambling911.com’s own Thomas Somach.  Emphasis on the word “look” since we weren’t exactly there to administer a blood test.

The photos in question were taken during an event in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. 

To be fair, one does not necessarily associate Ivey and his squeaky clean image with drinking or recreational drugs.

Prahlad Friedman Calls out Isaac Haxton and Justin Bonomo for Account Sharing

UB.com poker pro Prahlad Friedman has called out fellow players Haxton and Bonomo for alleged “account sharing”.

Iassac Haxton and Justin Bonomo share and switch accounts often. Was playing random guy and looked up his stats. Identical to Hax.

Haxton knows I don't want to play him head up. So scummy. 

Beware of their scummy tactics.

They have been doing this to me for years. No more.

The online poker sites have taken pretty drastic actions against “account sharing”.  Witness:  Full Tilt Poker.
