    Just was looking at HORSE updates & see Josh field busted out earlier today.

    In my opinion i dont think they should have welcomed him atall & took a leaf out of pokerstars book & banned him from all events.This might seem harsh but for the integrity of the game this should of happened.

    I hope to god that people pointed out the cheater & give a clear message that people like that are pure scum.

    Anyway he's got Annette & Sorel for support if needed.

    Just sickens me that a criminal that hides behind a computer seems welcome in 'live' casinos?

    You know if it was possible to cheat 'live' he'd give it a try.

    Disgusted.

    Ya if he can pay the buyin obviously he is going to be allowed to play... Kind of ridiculous that u think he would be banned from live tournament play.

    As much harm he has done - I would be hesitant to show my face as a major poker event.

    BUT - stars banned him from their event. Has nothing to do with anything associated with WSOP/E.

    BUT - If Stars was a primary sponsor, I am sure that they may have some input.

    Someone said that when he busted out there was a strange old lady that entered the casino paid her $5000 HORSE late entry but never talked to a single person...

    She was dressed in a a long floral red number with a large green hat to match her green shoes...

    I've just found out it was Josh fields grandma

    Was it?

    Or do you think it was live multi-player accountments?
