Bill Chen accused of collusion?
Bodog Beat reports:
Poker pro Bill Chen has been accused of collusion during the $2,500 No Limit Hold'em Shootout event. He apparently offered his heads-up opponent a certain sum of money to let him advance to the next round. While at a single table sit 'n' go this is called a chop, as part of an elimination tourney this is against the rules, let alone unethical. What makes the story even more interesting is that "Dollar" Bill (we just made that up) called over a floorperson to get the deal approved and approval was granted. WTF? This isn't Chen's first time at the rodeo and he should know better than to even ask, but the floorperson's approval? Unbelievable. I'm skeptical of the story because 1) I haven't seen it reported elsewhere, and 2) I don't think there is a $2.5K NL Shootout (wasn't event 30 shorthanded, but not a shootout?).

Re: Bill Chen accused of collusion?
If he called the floor over and the floor approved of it then he did NOTHING wrong.

[/ QUOTE ] Be that as it may, Bill Chen didn't try to subvert the floor by keeping it on the downlow. He was honest about it and wanted to see if the floor would rule in his favor. So what?

Re: Bill Chen accused of collusion?
He checked with officials before acting in a questionable situation.
He's in the clear and more power to him. Any and all action should be taken up with Harrahs for allowing it, not with him.
