I wanted to respond regarding the Taj Event where you stated that $70,000 was missing. This is not correct and let me explain why.

There was an error in the number of players stated on the website, our apologies.

May 23rd - 62 players, previously stated 77.
May 24th - 32 players, previously state 45.

This can be easily verified by the casino.

We have made the correction and stated on the website that a correction was made, so everyone is aware that the original numbers were not correct.

You can verify this just by looking at the number of players paid. Usually about 10% of the player get paid.

May 23rd - 6 players paid.
May 24th - 5 players paid.

Hope this clears up these tournaments. I will send an email to Card Player and Bluff to update those tournament numbers.

Having read this entire thread it seems like this overstatement 'error' of total participants was a dishonest attempt to make the CEOPoker events seem more successful than they actually were. It fits perfectly with this:

Without the CEO Tour actually sending me a written guarantee,you told me flat out that there were 150+ CEO's,Pro's,players,etc that had deposited $500 to "lock-up" a seat ,and I better sign up before the event sold out!

It seems CEOPoker's MO has been to use deception from the very beginning.

It's more than a little scary that people like this can convince properties like the Taj and the Venetian to allow them to run these skimaments in their facilities.
