Re: *********To All CEO Poker Tour Participants******

Stephen, I am wondering if the host casinos have any responsibility / liability / cuplability in insuring the events were held properly and the funds were disbursed correctly. [/ QUOTE ] I'm pretty sure they do. You need a license to operate a casino in Nevada and my understanding is that an operator like CEO would have to rely on the Venetian's license to run their tournament. When people are talking about sicing the Gaming Commission, the gaming commission would go after the Venetian.

Re: *********To All CEO Poker Tour Participants******
Stephen,
I made a post in the PPA thread about the PPA having an obligation to pay your legal costs for this (since they were a partner with the CEO Poker Tour). Please contact Greg Raymer via email (in his profile) about getting your money refunded. Thanks again for helping clean some of the scum out of the poker industry. -Steve

Why Greg? Is he somehow involved in this mess? [/ QUOTE ] he is on the PPA executive board or something. He would have a lot of influence on how the PPA acts on this situation.

Behold the power of 2+2. There is strength in numbers. I'd like to say thanks to Stephen for stepping up and following through. It looks like things are heading in a direction that will forever change the CEO Poker Tour. Has anyone been in touch with the PPA to see if they can help in this matter? Sounds like this is a fight they need to be involved in. If this doesn't met the criteria of protecting Poker players; I don't know what will. [/ QUOTE ] I understood from the PPA thread that they are no longer pursuing the matter... Is this correct?

[/ QUOTE ] I defer to the advice of Stephen's lawyers, but it's not clear to me that just because the host casino might have a problem with the REGULATORY authorities, that they're necessarily liable to YOU for money damages. That would effectively mean that a casino hosting an event would have an independent obligation to audit whatever money changes hands, to make sure it ends up in the right place. The notion strikes me as rather odd. I hope justice gets done here. If nothing else, maybe you guys will end up owning some real estate in Cuba.
