The hot topic at 2+2 at the moment involves everyone\’s favorite whipping boys: Ultimate Bet and Phil Hellmuth. Seems a player by the name of DOUBLEBALLER was playing $200/400 limit holdem with Hellmuth this morning when the following hand comes up:
Hellmuth wins hand without showing cards at showdown.
According to the hand history, Hellmuth has 10-2, while Doubleballer has KQ.
As you can imagine, all sorts of heck breaks loose on the Internet when a glitch like this happens. The person who was affected by this would post on 2+2, saying he contacted UB support, who would only credit $2300 for now (he would later post in the thread that he had to make another call to support to get the rest of what he lost).
While it was supposedly a software glitch (that UB support says has already been fixed), it\’s peculiar that the problem happened with the player most synonymous with UB in the hand in question. More details on the situation as things happen.
Update: COO Paul Leggett blogged briefly about the incident over at the Ultimate Bet blog.
