Team Full Tilt pros and WSOP bracelet winners Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson and Phil Ivey have already confirmed they will take part in the event, offering players the chance to sit down at this historic tournament and play with some of the best high stakes and tournament pros in the world.

At first look, Absolute Poker stated that there were no issues with the page or the poker competitor. After numerous players came forward with accusations, the poker website investigated further into the situation and made the discovery.

In January of 2008, the KGC exposed what the Texas Hold’em players and the Texas Hold’em page had assumed all the time. The investigation proved that, there was an employee who had invaded the Texas Hold’em page’s security system and was competing dishonestly for approximately six weeks.
