2007 WCOOP Cheating Scandal Is Complete

The investigation into the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) scandal is finally over and the findings were that there was overwhelming evidence that TheV0id was multi-accounting.

Earlier rumors were abound when it was discovered that TheV0id had never entered a Poker Stars tournament and considering the buy-in amount was substantial, early rumors were abound that something may not be right.

To further add fuel to the fire, it was thought TheV0id was the sister of another player in the WCOOP, poker professional Mark Teltscher (online name - play2kill); who was alleged to have taken over TheV0id's account once his account was eliminated. In the over $5 Million Championship, TheV0id won prize money in the amount of $1,228,330.50.

The following statement was issued today by PokerStars Game Security:

The investigation into the WCOOP Main Event has now been concluded.
We have determined, based on the totality of evidence that the tournament winner "TheV0id" was in breach of the PokerStars Terms of Service.

In the interests of Game Integrity, "TheV0id" has been disqualified from first place.

All other WCOOP Main Event prizewinners in addition to the player who originally bubbled in 415th place will therefore advance one place in the prize pool. The necessary financial adjustments to reflect the revised tournament places will be made within the next 24 hours.

Please note that we are unable to release further details of this investigation, for reasons of confidentiality and privacy.
