Chris Vaughn of Bluff Magazine a Cheater?
Written by Tom L | Monday, December 3rd, 2007
It’s another scandalous week with more allegations of cheating, yet this time the absolute mess is pointing at Full Tilt Poker.
Chris Vaughn who is the managing editor at Bluff Magazine is now facing some pretty serious accusations about his account at Full Tilt.
Last month Chris Vaughn took down some incredible wins in the Million Dollar Guaranteed at Full Tilt Poker and a week later repeated his success in the Sunday Millions at Poker Stars. Both of these tournaments provided him with a first place finish and a net win of $438,617. On most occasions this would be cause for celebration and Chris likely did for a short time, until Full Tilt forfeited his tournament win and blocked his account.
This would not have become public knowledge if it was not for a post made by Soren “Kongsgaard” Kongsgaard stating that he had received an email from Full Tilt Poker saying that “BluffMagCV had been disqualified from the tournament and Kongsgaard would be awarded first place money.”
According to PokerKing who first broke the story, Vaughn (also known as BluffMagVC at Full Tilt Poker) handed his tournament over to another player “Imer1um” Mizzi to finish it for him. It has yet to be confirmed that Mizzi is in fact the player who took over the account and at this point in time is still speculation.
Full Tilt has disclosed that another player was in fact eliminated from that same tournament and did take over BluffMagVC’s account and continue the tournament without him. They have launched a full investigation into Chris Vaughn including a temporary ban placed on his account and a forfeit of the $197,984.00 that was won in that tournament.
Full Tilt Poker does not seem like they will be taking cheaters, scammers or those who are using the system to their advantage lightly which is something the company should be commended for.
Full Tilt has apparently closed another account recently due to similar circumstances. This time the account belongs to Lars Luzak who is one of the many high stake players found at FT. It appears that Lars was using a secondary account under the name “Tie53” instead of his own “LarsLuzak”. It’s been reported that the “Tie53” account has also been froze.
