Dealing with the Master

The most blatant accusation against Men centers around an incident that took place in Mashantucket, Connecticut, at Foxwoods Casino. Men was there with his guys for a poker tournament. As is their norm, they arrived with coolers full of steak, fish, rice and Coors. They shared a suite and set it up with hot plates, steamers and a fridge. After a team member overcooked dinner, the room filled with smoke and fire alarms went off. Hotel workers rushed inside and asked Men and his guys to leave while they dealt with the situation. The fire was put out, but rumors spread that tournament chips were found in the room. If true, that’s a terrible infraction of poker-tournament rules. It means that players on Men’s team had been pulling chips from the tournament as their likelihood of getting knocked out became more and more of a certainty, and they then provided those chips to the group’s winning players, who could surreptitiously supplement their chip stacks.

В кратце суть такова, что в его номере произошел пожар, а когда работники отеля пожар потушили, то обнаружили в комнате турнирные фишки. Там конечно оговорка, что это только слухи, но скорее всего казино просто прикрыло эту историю, чтобы сберечь свою репутацию. Иначе кто захочет играть в турнирах этого казино, где можно легко забирать фишки со столов и приносить их в свой номер.
