Notorious online cheat caught colluding in WSOP PLO?

[RioGossiper]

John Persson, aka Striker10/Orion/Cripolli was involved in the following situation:

Sherkhan Farnood has just received a five-hand penalty for collusion.

From pokernews:

~~~In a three-way pot with Istvan Novak and Jon Persson he was the last to act. The action went check-check on the river so Farnood checked also. He turned over the nut flush and there is now a very very big debate going on as to whether that is collusion.

Tony G wants him to have a longer penalty.

Farnood claims he didn't realise what he has.

Persson has one chip.~~~

Anyone have any more details? Farnood was chip leader 6 handed and got 6th. Persson double doubled that 1 chip but busted on final table bubble.

and which one of them?

[plzbenice]

and if hes chipleader its not an obvious cheat.

if 1 guy has 1 chip it could possibyl allow the chipleader to steal a lot if making the final table mattrs a lot to the guys or the jump in prize money is very big.

I don't think you can ever catch a colluder on one hand alone. You need more than that, and you ideally need to be seeing their holecards all the time.

You would be correct as it is a common tactic in STT play, but the caliber of player Farnood is dictates he would not understand this at all. Given that he also had a percentage of the player involved it constitutes collusion. Both players should be disqualified.
