Hello (Me),

Thanks for your patience while we reviewed this case. We have determined
that these players were working together as a team. You were involved in
at least one pot with these players, and as such you were adversely
affected.

The players' accounts were closed and their funds frozen pending a thorough
investigation, which is now complete.

It has been determined that you were wrongfully squeezed out of pots in
which you had invested funds.

PokerStars has credited you with $5 as a result of the damage caused. The
funds credited are in excessive of the damage we have calculated.

The integrity of the games at PokerStars is of paramount importance to us,
and we will not abide cheating or collusion in our games. We work hard to
police our games and prevent such instances. In the rare cases where
collusion has actually occurred, we make sure that any players affected
are "made whole" again.

Thank you for your continued play here on PokerStars. Please do not
hesitate to let us know any time you need anything.


Regards,

Narinder
PokerStars Support Team
