DOUBLEBALLER CEREUS-ly Screwed
I have no idea why people like DOUBLEBALLER still play at Ultimate Bet after they have been busted for cheating on the site, but regardless yet another screwed up situation happened at UB this weekend.
DOUBLEBALLER was playing heads-up with Phil Hellmuth who seemed to be unstoppable. Even when he lost he was winning. Yea, I know what you’re thinking… that doesn’t make sense, well check out this hand history and you will see what I am talking about:

Total Pot($5600) | Rake ($1)
Board [Js Kc Kh 2h 9c]
Seat 4: PHILHELLMUTH (dealer) (small blind) won Total ($5599) HI: ($5599) [Mucked] [2s 10s]
Seat 6: DOUBLEBALLER (big blind) HI:lost with Three of a kind, kings [Kd Qh - B:Kh,P:Kd,B:Kc,P:Qh,B:Js]
As you can see above, Hellmuth mucked his cards due to having the worst hand, but due to some HUGE SOFTWARE SCREW-UP he was still awarded the winning pot?
Is this some new attempt to make an unstoppable super-user account on their newly formed CEREUS Poker Network, or a one-time issue? I am thinking that this has probably affected more players and if those players were multi-tabling they might not have even noticed!
If you are playing here still because you are from the US and you think there aren’t enough options YOU ARE WRONG! There are tons of US Poker Sites still that won’t cheat you out of your money.
