Seems two popular online sites, Absolute Poker, and UltimateBet, have had a security issue that has cost players roughly $10 Million over the last three years. Using statistical analysis, an Australian, Michael Josem, was able to document that certain accounts were winning money at a rate 100 times faster than a good player could.

His findings led to an internal investigation by the parent company that owns both sites. It found rogue employees had defrauded players over three years via a security hole that allowed the cheats to see other player’s secret (or hole) cards.

The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. was a great man. His message, his spirit, his vision was for everyone to live in peace - man, woman, child - regardless of their creed or color. And what better way to celebrate his greatness then with an annual poker tournament? I’m not sure if he was a betting man, but I’m willing to wager he’d make the Posh Beck Resort and Casino a regular stop during his birthday!
