You’re not getting the story right. They didn’t make the final table with 2 accounts it was just 1 account played (probably by the son since it’s under his name) the thing is that the account belongs to a underage so the father is claiming he is the account holder (so they can cash the prize for his 6th place). ]]>

im a professional poker player that plays mainly on pokerstars and my opinion is that stars wont let this guy keep a dime. they are pretty strict about their ToS, and have to be, obv. ]]>

the next question is, did they work
together sharing card information to further their advance in the tourney. while it is a great feat for a father and son to be able to simultaneously finish in the top 10
of a tourney with 50000 players, it
should be questioned as improbable and possibly unethical or illegal to have happened ]]>
