I know i've been banging on about plagiarism and a parasitic poker media industry a lot in the last week but this is too clear an example not to highlight.

So yesterday, WSOP releases their 2025 schedule. A couple of media sites get embargod info to help disseminate this info.

@dklappin @ThePokerBaffer @JustinBonomo @barnyboatman @themouthmatusow That must be been our fuse article, as we only mentioned Barney's donation and def not Mikes.

@pokerprojones @WSOPcom @PokerStars @redbullracing Wonder if GG will partner with an F1 team, (is there even still time?) and then run international promos in conjunction with WSOP?

@dklappin @UnibetPoker @thechiprace Ooooh, almost got me there -- with lots of Kindred people jumping ship it was believable!

[Sam Bevington @SamBevington]

@dklappin @SaronFruit What joy! So many congratulations to you and the family! x

@HMRCcustomers Thank you

@HMRCcustomers Correct

@RealKidPoker I just found it surprising in this really volatile environment where everyone calls out everyone who they deem to have cheated that this isn't seen as such

[Sam Bevington @SamBevington]

Not sure I agree with this take from @RealKidPoker that Phil Ivey getting found guilty of edge sorting was a catastrophic precedent to make, as he never touched the cards etc, etc, etc.

@RealKidPoker I mean, to me it sounds like they thought he was cheating - but its old news now, I know. And not trying to change anyones mind ...

[Sam Bevington @SamBevington]

With all the witch-hunts/ allegations on cheating in recent years cf. Postle, Lew, G-man etc, how is this the take?

In Ivey's case it was Baccarat not poker, but still. He literally was caught cheating - it upheld in a court of law

Just don't get it, what am I missing?

[Sam Bevington @SamBevington]

And ok, Ivey settled the American portion of the law suit in 2020 but Borgata still sued him for over $15m in damages and it still went to court. More than be said of other cheating scandals.

Spoiler alert! @Ebony_Kenney out in 5th for $1.7M. Fifth largest score for a woman in poker history. Congrats to Ebony for a historic run!
