    Regarding the sunday warmup on 9/28.......

    <PRE><TT>Hello, pokerstars has become aware of an instance in a tournament in which a player "handed off" his seat to a different player, deep in the event. This is in violation of our tournament rules, and that player has been disqualified. All players who were eliminated prior to the disqualified player have been bumped up in standing, which results in some players being due a larger tournament award. Because you were involved in this tournament, T# 109333194, you have been advanced in the prize table and your account has been credited accordingly. You can see the amount of your credit from the PokerStars cashier, using the "History" feature. Due to our privacy policy we are not at liberty to further identify the individual who was disqualified nor to discuss the matter in greater detail. After careful review we have permanently closed the offending players' account and have implemented measures to prevent the players from playing on the site using any other account. The integrity of the games at PokerStars is of paramount importance to us and we will not abide unfair play in our games. We work hard to police our games to assure our players of a fair, secure place to play. In the rare cases where collusion has actually occurred, we make sure that any players affected are compensated appropriately. Thank you for your continued play here on PokerStars. Please do not hesitate to let us know any time we can be of help. Best Regards, Jeff PokerStars Game Security </TT></PRE>

    Being that you got 2nd, the person who took over had to have gotten 1st right?

    Which screen name was it that won the warmup on 9/28?

    this sucks, the last thing we need is more bad press for online poker. However at least the player who deserved it and didn't cheat ended up getting some money back , but it sucks and cheating will always happen in one way or another despite how shitty it is

    Lol so let me get this straight. Here's the tournament you're referring to:

    pokerstars Tournament #109333194, No Limit Hold'em
    Buy-In: $200.00/$15.00
    3328 players
    $84400.00 added to the prize pool by PokerStars.com
    Total Prize Pool: $750000.00
    Tournament started - 2008/09/28 - 12:45:00 (ET)
    Tournament finished - 2008/09/28 - 22:05:22 (ET)
    1: EtOi (Seoul), $105000.00 (14%)
    2: ucftennis12 (Orlando), $75000.00 (10%)
    3: ROYALDODIS (taby), $52500.00 (7%)
    4: knot_BE (Denderleeuw), $39375.00 (5.25%)
    5: PearlJammer (Henderson), $31500.00 (4.20%)
    6: tendog (Rocky River), $24000.00 (3.20%)
    7: NoraFlum (Walnut Creek), $16500.00 (2.20%)
    8: d1sterbd (Las Vegas), $10500.00 (1.40%)

    If u got 2nd and they're moving u up the payout ladder because someone ahead of u violated tos, why won't they tell u who it is? Is it really that hard to figure out?
