Atlantic City Casino Sues Phil Ivey For $9.6 Million, Says Poker Pro Cheated

Borgata: Ivey Noticed Defects In Cards While Playing Baccarat


by Brian Pempus | Published: Apr 11, 2014 | E-mail Author

Poker pro Phil Ivey, widely regarded as the game’s best player, has been sued by an Atlantic City casino, which alleges that he cheated the house out of $9.6 million.

The report comes from New Jersey Law Journal.

Ivey is accused of spotting manufacturing defects in the cards while playing high-stakes baccarat. The suit also names the manufacturer of the cards, Gemaco Inc. of Blue Springs, Mo. In addition, Ivey’s alleged accomplice, Cheng Yin Sun, is named in the complaint. According to the report, she was Ivey’s companion on his trips and gave instructions to the dealer.

The technique Ivey is accused of using to gain an advantage over The Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, called “edge sorting,” is the same one he was accused of using against Crockfords Casino in the United Kingdom. Ivey eventually admitted to noticing a manufacturing defect in the cards at Crockfords, but said it wasn’t cheating. He sued the casino, which withheld his winnings of around $12.1 million. That case is still pending.

Both the Borgata and Crockford sessions in question happened in 2012.

Bennys view .. Brian Mozak has been saying this for many years about Phil Ivey .. as the saying goes..'watch this space'

If Ivey is telling the truth then its the casinos fault for not checking their cards.....
