sorel_mizziSmall back: in 2007, Full Tilt Poker was banned for life Sorel Mizzi for not complying with the rules of the site. In a FTOPS tournament, he had taken the place of his friend Chris "BluffMagCV" Vaughn in a $ 215 tournament and finished 1st for a scholarship of 200 K. Full Tilt had investigated and concluded that Mizzi had taken the place of another player and that it was illegal. Mizzi ought to be banned for life, but he has seen on online poker tables this Thursday, February 17.

But things don't stop here. On the Twoplustwo forums, it is the subject of acknowledge of multi-accounts.  

To add to his record, another topic on Twoplustwo accuses him of having cheated during a Chinese poker game during the PCA 2011

 

According to Shaun Deeb, the author of the thread, Mizzi was sure to be able to distribute the wild easily when he displeased the cards. You can laugh in a game between friends, but when the amounts involved are very high, it is normal that this behavior raises indignation. This is John Racener who reportedly took it to cheat. According to his statements, Mizzi would be simply excused for having cheated. He added that he was on medication for depression and that a death in her family her disturbed mind.

These Chinese poker games were held during the PCA 2011, event during which Mizzi and Racener is are much frequented. Chinese poker games included the jokers and the player who has accumulated the most points each 10 hands, won $ 5000 of the other player.

To learn a little more about this story (for the version of the facts of John), you can hear conversation between John Racener and Marco QuadJacks.

Mizzi Meanwhile, denies the facts: "I am the first to admit that I've committed many mistakes in my career and my personal life and I regret bitterly, but I've never cheated in Chinese poker. The allegations that I am the target are completely absurd, severe and the amplitude of the lies that run about me leave me completely wary."   

We do not know yet whether or not, Mizzi cheated Chinese Poker. We do not have the evidence necessary for prosecution, but thing certain, this new surely will not help the image of the young professional who is not its first charges.
