The accusations come as a result of a £10 million lawsuit that Dubai investorIraj Parvizi has filed against Les Ambassadeurs casino in London. This lawsuit follows one filed by the casino against Parvizi, who allegedly canceled checks to the casino to cover approximately £185,000 in losses. As a part of his counter-suit, Parvizi has issued claims of collusion against Gould and de Wolfe, saying that the duo worked as a team against him.

Parvizi is pulling all the stops out when it comes to attempting to prove his case. He has hired Richard Marcus, who has made a career as an author of several books regarding cheating different games in a casino.

After viewing the archival footage of the game in question that included Parvizi, Gould, and de Wolfe, Marcus issued his opinions in an affidavit filed with the court. The game that Parvizi played in, Marcus stated in the document, was “utterly corrupted by collusion on the part of Gould and de Wolfe. I will not even concede to a small probability that this poker game was fair and above board.”

For their part, Gould and de Wolfe have remained silent on the issue, but Les Ambassadeurs is vehemently fighting the charges. If there were collusion going on, the casino stated, they were unaware of the actions. Regardless, under the view of the casino, the allegations made by Parvizi are “embarrassing” for the businessman.

Other players who were involved with the game in question seem to back the casino, Gould, and de Wolfe. Under the condition of anonymity, one player said Parvizi’s claims were “ridiculous.” “No one would need to cheat to beat Iraj,” the player stated to the London Daily Mail. “We’re professionals and he’s terrible, so it’s like Brazil versus San Marino in football.”

Noting that Parvizi’s losses for that night in question were “nothing” for a professional, the unidentified player finished by saying, “As a professional player, you sometimes need credit and you rely on your reputation. I’d rather lose than collude.”

Gould has built a middling career in tournament poker around England and Europe with about a dozen cashes, according to the Hendon Mob database. His biggest score came at the Monte Carlo Poker Masters in 2008, where he finished in eighth place in a €2,500 No Limit Hold’em tournament. He also has one cash on his resume from the European Poker Tour in the same year, when he finished in 24th place in the Main Event of the Polish Open.

De Wolfe’s resume is much grander than Gould’s. He is ranked third in all-time tournament earnings for English players with more than $5.3 million in career winnings. In 2005, he captured the title at the World Poker Tour Rendezvous a Paris for almost $575,000 and finished in third place at the 2006 WPT Championship for his largest career score of $1,205,205.

Later in 2006, de Wolfe won the EPT Irish Masters for another six-figure cash. He completed poker’s Triple Crown in 2009 with a victory in a $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo event at the World Series of Poker.

Earlier this year, there were similar charges of such collusion, but it wasn’t in a cash game setting in a casino. Several of the participants who play in High Roller and Super High Roller tournaments around the world discussed how professionals would sometimes “soft play” each other and wait until the time was right to take out a wealthy businessman rather than each other. Although the discussion was heated at times, no accusations against any specific players came to light and the issue quietly died off.

Both lawsuits are currently under review in the English court system.
