A+ response from Pokerstars

Hello David,

Thank you for your email.

Although I am not aware of this player leading a poker school on our site, and I am unable to divulge what this player was holding in this hand, I can say that even the most reputed players make bad plays from time to time.

Just last night I saw Phil Helmuth make two terrible calls on the river (calling with king high against a player who was holding a mid pair). Whilst there is no justification of such calls, I found your report to be very amusing and thank you for bringing this to our attention.

If we can be of further assistance, feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Best regards,

Owen
PokerStars Support Team

that
can be offered through our site however we will not have just anyone
