Pokerati just received the following \”official statement\” via email from John Racener regarding his accusation that Sorel Mizzi slipped himself a joker in a private headsup Chinese Poker match at the PCA.
\”Though I stand by my original claims of cheating on Sorel\’s part, I feel that it was extremely irresponsible to make statements regarding Sorel\’s mental state at the time and immediately following the incident. After much thought, I realize now that taking such matters to a public forum is dangerous and can be detrimental to the person that is being talked about. I also should not have allowed the matter to be addressed by a third party in a public forum. I look forward to putting this incident far behind me. This matter is being dealt with between Sorel and I, and I consider the topic to be closed.\”
It appears that we should not be expecting a debut 2p2 post from Racener in the dramabomb Deeb thread after all.
