Controversy mars achievement of iPoker´s two billionth hand of online poker.

By RP, December 30, 2009

Speculation was rife on the popular twoplustwo poker forum this week after an online poker player claimed that $60 000 worth of cash and tournament seats he won in the iPoker network’s two billionth poker hand celebrations remains unpaid.

Using the handle ‘Derrickki’, the player said he had been ten-tabling heads up No Limit Hold’em on the Betfold skin on the network in the hopes of winning some of the promotional prizes attached to the 2 000 000 000th poker hand on iPoker, an online poker network operated by Playtech.

The speculation seems to be centred on whether the Betfold skin had opted in to the network promotion, although in previous recent threads twoplustwo posters have complained that Betfold has been slow-paying, and the customer support response has been unsatisfactory.
