Borgata expands their lawsuit against Phil Ivey with the Crockfords decision
We have reported plenty of times about Phil Ivey's edge sorting lawsuit, and how a judge recently decided that the Crockfords casino is not required to pay out Ivey's winnings. Now the Borgata casino, which is also involved in a lawsuit with Ivey regarding the same matter (edge sorting) is hoping to use the verdict to benefit their own lawsuit aswell.
Contrary to the Crockfords case, Borgata is not trying to get out from paying out Ivey - they actually demand that the poker legend pays back the $9.6 million that he won during his visits in 2012.
The Borgata lawyers have expanded their lawsuit with the results of the Crockfords case:
''According to the Crockfords casino Ivey willingly deceived them, pretending to be superstitious, for example he made a big hype about wearing lucky Crockfords hats. He and his accomplice, Ms. Sun also convinced the dealers to turn the important cards in the deck for them with the superstition excuse. They also requested a Chinese dealer, claiming that in case an Asian woman plays, Chinese dealers bring better luck. The trick worked, Ivey managed to convince the Crockford staff that he is very superstitious, which they thoroughly discussed when Ivey was not around.''
Currently the case is with the New Jersey court, information regarding when the decision will be made is not available as of now.
An interesting detail has also leaked in the Crockfords case. The casino couldn't find any evidence for cheating during the investigation of the case, and for a long time they had no idea how Ivey and Sun managed to win huge sums, until someone from the management remembered an old technique, shown to him by his grandfather. This technique was of course the Edge Sorting technique that Sun and Ivey have perfected over the years. If the management member didn't remember his grandfather's story, Ivey would most likely be already paid.
