The Full Tilt $1Million Scandal has taken a new step. In the 2plus2 forum it has been alleged that Full Tilt sanghoki has confirmed that during the October 21st One Million Guarantee tournament the winner, aka BluffMagCV, handed his account to another player toward the end of the tournament.
Chris Vaughn, who also plays on PokerStars under the name SlippyJacks, made headlines when he followed the One Million Guarantee Poker Tournament with a PokerStars Sunday Million win, just one week later.
This information is being released while there have been great discussions about the various poker rooms having tournament corrupted by scandalous account holders. There have been alleged multi accounting and account handoffs, and PokerStars themselves chose to rescind the title awarded during the Main Event of the World Championship of Online Poker.
In the forum thread regarding the Million Guarantee scandal, a poster known as Soren Kongsgaard, the second place player in the tournament event, posted a portion of an email said to have been received from Full Tilt Poker support:
Upon conclusion of a lengthy investigation into the $500 + $35, “$1Million Guarantee” tournament held on October 21st, we have determined that you were among the victims of one player using more than one Full Tilt account in the tournament. Late into the tournament, a player who had already been eliminated took over the account of a player who was still in, which is against our tournament rules.
This story is continuing to unfold.
